Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for recording, in a predetermined recording medium, data output from an encoding means which performs encoding processing, the information processing apparatus comprising: means for acquiring second encoded video data; and means for recording the second encoded video data acquired by said means for acquiring in the recording medium, wherein an authoring apparatus includes the encoding means for first encoding video data in accordance with first encoding conditions, the first encoding including setting a picture type of each frame of the video data based on at least the first encoding conditions and detecting an amount of bits generated by first encoding each frame of the video data based on the picture type of the frame, preview generating means for generating a preview of the video data in accordance with second encoding conditions including a target amount of bits for each frame of the video data for second encoding the video data and the picture type of each frame of the video data, an input accepting means for accepting input of customization settings and an evaluation indicator with reference to the preview of the video data, the customization settings including instructions to change picture types of respective frames of the video data, and an encoding control means for the encoding processing means further including means for second encoding the video data in accordance with the updated second encoding conditions and the updated target amount of bits when the evaluation indicator indicates that the preview of the video data is acceptable, to produce the second encoded video data acquired by the means for acquiring.
