Abstract

A recording control apparatus for recording new data on a recording medium on which data forming an edit result is recorded for each file. The recording control apparatus includes: a specification section specifying an insert section into which the new data is inserted in the edit result; and when a part of or all of a plurality of the files are included in the insert section, a recording control section recording data out of the new data, as first additional data, corresponding to a section other than a section from a start position of the insert section to the end of a start file being a file including data of the start position into an unrecorded area in which the files are not recorded and recording data other than the first additional data, out of the new data, into a predetermined area of the recording medium.

Claims

1. A recording control apparatus for recording new data on a recording medium on which data forming an edit result is recorded for each file, the recording control apparatus comprising:

a specification section specifying an insert section being a section into which the new data is inserted in the edit result; and

when a part of or all of a plurality of the files are included in the insert section, a recording control section recording data out of the new data, as first additional data, corresponding to a section other than a section from a start position of the insert section to the end of a start file being a file including data of the start position into an unrecorded area being an area in which the files are not recorded and recording data other than the first additional data, out of the new data, into a predetermined area of the recording medium.

2. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a generation section generating sequence information indicating a reproducing sequence included in the data forming the edit result,

wherein the generation section generates the sequence information such that data of a section from the beginning of the start file to the start position and the new data are reproduced in sequence, and then a next file having the reproducing sequence next to the start file before insertion is reproduced from the beginning.

3. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when a part of or all of a plurality of files are included in the insert section, the recording control section records data other than the first additional data out of the new data into a recording area having a recorded section from the start position of the insert section to the end of the start file.

4. The recording control apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the recording control section records the new data as a part of or all of the start file.

5. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when a part of or all of a plurality of files are included in the insert section, the recording control section records data other than the first additional data out of the new data into an unrecorded area as second additional data.

6. The recording control apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a setting section setting an insert mode in which the new data is inserted into the edit result to an additional-insert mode in which the first additional data is recorded into the unrecorded area,

wherein when the insert mode is the additional-insert mode, if a part of or all of a plurality of the files are included in the insert section, the recording control section records the first additional data into the unrecorded area and records data other than the first additional data, out of the new data, into a predetermined area of the recording medium, when the insert mode is not the additional-insert mode, the recording control section overwrites the new data into a recording area in which data corresponding to the insert section is recorded,

when the insert mode is the additional-insert mode, the generation section generates the sequence information such that data of a section from the beginning of the start file to the start position and the new data are reproduced in sequence and then the next file is reproduced from the beginning, and when the insert mode is not the additional-insert mode, the generation section generates the sequence information such that data of a section from the beginning of the start file to the start position and the new data are reproduced in sequence and then the next file is reproduced from data corresponding to the end position of the insert section.

7. A method of controlling recording of a recording control apparatus for recording new data on a recording medium on which data forming an edit result is recorded for each file, the method comprising the steps of:

specifying an insert section being a section into which the new data is inserted in the edit result;

when a part of or all of a plurality of the files are included in the insert section, recording data out of the new data, as first additional data, corresponding to a section other than a section from a start position of the insert section to the end of a start file being a file including data of the start position into an unrecorded area being an area in which the files are not recorded and recording data other than the first additional data, out of the new data, into a predetermined area of the recording medium; and

generating sequence information indicating reproducing sequence included in the data forming the edit result such that data of a section from the beginning of the start file to the start position and the new data are reproduced in sequence and then the next file having a reproducing sequence next to the start file before insertion is reproduced from the beginning.

8. A program for causing a computer to perform processing for recording new data on a recording medium on which data forming an edit result is recorded for each file, the program comprising the steps of:

specifying an insert section being a section into which the new data is inserted in the edit result;

when a part of or all of a plurality of the files are included in the insert section, recording data out of the new data, as first additional data, corresponding to a section other than a section from a start position of the insert section to the end of a start file being a file including data of the start position into an unrecorded area being an area in which the files are not recorded and recording data other than the first additional data, out of the new data, into a predetermined area of the recording medium; and

generating sequence information indicating reproducing sequence included in the data forming the edit result such that data of a section from the beginning of the start file to the start position and the new data are reproduced in sequence and then the next file having a reproducing sequence next to the start file before insertion is reproduced from the beginning.
