INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A configuration in which a reproducing process is enabled by constructing a virtual file system without using a local memory is realized. At the time of data reproducing process from a medium having BDMV standard compliant data in the BDMV directory and BDMV standard non-compliant data, for example, the 1080/60p or the 3D image data, are subject to the reproducing process by constructing the virtual file system in which the virtual file name corresponding to the data recorded in the BDAV or BU directory without performing the data transfer to the local memory at the time of data reproducing process from the media having a plurality of directories recorded in the BDAV or BU directories. With this configuration, the recording and reproducing of the BDMV standard compliant data and the BDMV standard non-compliant data can be performed without performing the data transfer to the local memory.
