Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a setting unit configured to independently set, in accordance with a user instruction, conditions of a plurality of moving image data to be simultaneously recorded on a first recording medium and a second recording medium in a simultaneous recording mode, wherein the setting unit sets one of a plurality of conditions relating to a data rate of moving image data, selected by the user, as a condition of the moving image data to be recorded on the first recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode and sets one of the plurality of conditions, selected by the user, as a condition of the moving image data to be recorded on the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode; a processing unit configured to compress moving image data by a predetermined compression method in accordance with the conditions set by said setting unit and to generate a plurality of moving image data, each of which is compressed by the predetermined compression method, to be recorded on the first recording medium and the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode, wherein the processing unit compresses the moving image data to be recorded on the first recording medium by the predetermined compression method in accordance with a data rate set by the setting unit as the condition of the moving image data to be recorded on the first recording medium, and compresses the moving image data to be recorded on the second recording medium by the predetermined compression method in accordance with a data rate set by the setting unit as the condition of the moving image data to be recorded on the second recording medium; a discrimination unit configured to discriminate whether same conditions are set as the conditions of the plurality of moving image data to be recorded on the first recording medium and the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode; a generation unit configured to generate, in accordance with a discrimination result of the discrimination unit, identification information for discriminating whether the plurality of moving image data recorded on the first recording medium and the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode have the same conditions; and a recording unit configured to simultaneously record the plurality of moving image data generated by said processing unit on the first recording medium and the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode, wherein the recording unit records a plurality of pieces of the identification information generated by the generation unit on the first recording medium and the second recording medium in the simultaneous recording mode.
