1. A recording apparatus for recording video data to a recording medium, said recording apparatus comprising:

  • encoding means for encoding the video data in accordance with a compression-encoding process;

    converting means for converting a data structure of the encoded video data received from said encoding means into a file structure that allows a moving picture to be synchronously reproduced by computer software without a need to use specially dedicated hardware; and

    recording means for recording the data having said file structure to the recording medium;

    wherein the file structure has a first data unit and a second data unit;

    wherein a plurality of first data units and a plurality of second data units are matched with a successive record length,wherein each second data unit is adjacent to a corresponding first data unit, wherein a successive record length is a length of data that is recorded to the recording medium without a jumping operation; and

    reading means for reading data from a memory,wherein the data is written successively to the memory and is intermittently read when a transfer rate of the encoding means is lower than a transfer rate of the data recorded on the recording medium to prevent underflow and overflow of the recording medium.
