A method of making an information recording medium of the invention is that
first a scenario template is generated based on an input scenario
information and assignments of titles, chapters, programs, and cells are
determined. Based on this assignments, a disk information file and video
file management information are generated on a hard disk and a recording
area of a video file data is allocated. At this time, in the disk
information file and the video file management information, management
information as to menu information corresponding to the scenario template
and recording area of cells to be recorded in the video file data.
Therefore, the efficiency of making a multimedia optical disc, such as a
DVD, which records still picture data, moving picture data, or audio data
