Patent ID: 7920775

Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: an image input unit adapted to input a moving image signal; an audio input unit adapted to input an audio signal; an image generator adapted to generate a first moving image signal at a first frame rate and a second moving image signal at a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate, by using the moving image signal input by said image input unit; a stream generator adapted to generate a first stream constituted of the first moving image signal and the audio signal input by said audio input unit and a second stream constituted of the second moving image signal and a predetermined audio signal which is different from the audio signal input by said audio input unit; a recording unit adapted to record, on a recording medium, the first and second streams output from said stream generator; an instructing unit adapted to instruct a change-over of a frame rate, wherein in accordance with an instruction output from said instructing unit during recording the first stream, said stream generator outputs the second stream instead of the first stream, and said recording unit records the second stream output in response to the instruction by said instructing unit, instead of the first stream; a reproducing unit adapted to reproduce a file from said recording medium; and a display control unit adapted to display on a display apparatus information on a recording period of the first stream and a recording period of the second stream in the file reproduced by said reproducing unit.
