Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a compression unit configured to compress moving image data and assign identification information to each frame of the compressed moving image data; a recording unit configured to record the moving image data compressed by the compression unit on a recording medium according to a recording instruction, the recording unit appending the compressed moving image data to a moving image file which has been already recorded on the recording medium; and a controller configured to determine a frame other than a specific frame of the moving image data compressed by the compression unit predetermined number of frames before the input timing of the recording instruction as an appending start frame and control the recording unit in such a way as to append the compressed moving image data of the appending start frame to the moving image file, if identification information of the specific frame coincides with identification information of a final frame of moving image data stored in the moving image file, and to determine the specific frame as the appending start frame and control the recording unit in such a way as to append the compressed moving image data of the appending start frame to the moving image file, if the identification information of the specific frame does not coincide with the identification information of the final frame of the moving image data stored in the moving image file.
