Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain information corresponding to a selected cut number from scenario information, wherein the information corresponding to the selected cut number includes information which indicates a duration corresponding to the selected cut number; a calculation unit configured to calculate a recordable duration, and calculate how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken, wherein the recordable duration is calculated based on a remaining capacity of a recording medium and a recording bit rate, and how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken is calculated based on the calculated recordable duration and the duration corresponding to the selected cut number; and a display unit configured to display information which indicates how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken, wherein if a number which indicates how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken is smaller than a predetermined value, the display unit displays a message, wherein if the number which indicates how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken is smaller than the predetermined value, the calculation unit calculates how many times video data corresponding to another cut number can be taken, information corresponding to said another cut number is included in the scenario information, and wherein if the number which indicates how many times video data corresponding to the selected cut number can be taken is smaller than the predetermined value, the display unit displays information indicating how many times video data corresponding to said another cut number can be taken.
