Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus, comprising: a recording circuit adapted to record data on a recording position selected from among two or more recording positions; a recordable capacity detecting circuit adapted to detect recordable capacity of each of the two or more recording positions; an instructing circuit adapted to provide instructions to start recording of the data; a selecting circuit adapted to select a recording position on which the data is to be recorded in accordance with the instructions to start recording provided by the instructing circuit based on the recordable capacity of the two or more recording positions detected by the recordable capacity detecting circuit; a setting circuit adapted to set a threshold; and an adjusting circuit adapted to automatically adjust the threshold in accordance with a compression rate of data to be recorded on the recording position, wherein the selecting circuit is adapted to select one of other recording positions if the recordable capacity of the recording position that is selected immediately before the instructions to start recording is equal to or smaller than the threshold.
