Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus for recording digital data compressively encoded by use of a predetermined scheme comprising: receiving means for receiving a transport stream from an external unit connected through a digital bus; extracting means for extracting from the received transport stream a transport stream packet having a predetermined packet identification (PID); acquiring means for acquiring said compressively encoded digital data arranged in said transport stream packet extracted by said extracting means; and recording means for recording the acquired digital data onto a predetermined recording medium; whereby said transport stream further includes second compressively encoded digital data formed by compressively encoding said digital data according to a second predetermined scheme; whereby said transport stream is a Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) type transport stream, said first predetermined scheme is a non-MPEG scheme, and said second predetermined scheme is an MPEG scheme; and whereby data encoded according to said first predetermined scheme includes audio data and data encoded according to said second predetermined scheme includes said audio data, said audio data being transmitted a multiple of times in both said data encoded according to said first predetermined scheme and data encoded according to said second predetermined scheme, and the number of multiple times of said audio data according to said first predetermined scheme is greater than the number of multiple of times of said data encoded according to said second predetermined scheme.
