Abstract

A recording apparatus comprises a first producing unit which produces moving image data; a second producing unit which produces still picture data from the moving image data; and a recording unit which records a moving image file including the moving image data and first information on a recording medium, and which records a still picture file including the still picture data and second information on the recording medium. The first information indicates the still picture file and the second information indicates the moving image file.

Claims

1. A recording apparatus comprising:

a first producing unit which produces moving image data;

a second producing unit which produces still picture data from the moving image data; and

a recording unit which records a moving image file including the moving image data and first information on a recording medium, and which records a still picture file including the still picture data and second information on the recording medium,

wherein the first information indicates the still picture file and the second information indicates the moving image file.

2. A recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first information is a file name of the still picture file, and the second information is a file name of the moving image file.

3. A recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first information is added to a header or footer of the moving image file, and the second information is added to a header or footer of the still picture file.

4. A recording apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display control unit which displays a reduced image of the moving image file and information indicating presence of the still picture file on a display device, in a case where the first information is included in the still picture file.

5. A recording apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the information indicating presence of the still picture file is displayed in the vicinity of the reduced image of the moving image file.

6. A recording apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the display control unit displays a reduced image of the still picture file on the display device, in a case where the reduced image of the moving image file is selected.

7. A recording apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the information indicating presence of the still picture file is displayed on the reduced image of the moving image file.

8. A recording apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a display control unit which displays a reduced image of the still picture file and information indicating presence of the moving image file on a display device, in a case where the second information is included in the moving image file.

9. A recording apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the information indicating presence of the moving image file is displayed in the vicinity of the reduced image of the still picture file.

10. A recording apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the display control unit displays a reduced image of the moving image file on the display device, in a case where the reduced image of the still picture file is selected.

11. A recording apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the information indicating presence of the moving image file is displayed on the reduced image of the still picture file.

12. A method of controlling a recording apparatus, comprising the steps of:

producing moving image data;

producing still picture data from the moving image data;

recording a moving image file including the moving image data and first information on a recording medium; and

recording a still picture file including the still picture data and second information on the recording medium,

wherein the first information indicates the still picture file and the second information indicates the moving image file.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the first information is a file name of the still picture file, and the second information is a file name of the moving image file.

14. A method according to claim 12, wherein the first information is added to a header or footer of the moving image file, and the second information is added to a header or footer of the still picture file.

15. A method according to claim 12, further comprising the steps of:

determining whether the first information is included in the still picture file; and

displaying a reduced image of the moving image file and information indicating presence of the still picture file on a display device, if it is determined that the first information is included in the still picture file.

16. A method according to claim 15, wherein the information indicating the presence of the still picture file is displayed in the vicinity of the reduced image of the moving image file.

17. A method according to claim 15, further comprising the steps of:

determining whether the reduced image of the moving image file is selected; and

displaying a reduced image of the still picture file on the display device, if it is determined that the reduced image of the moving image file is selected.

18. A method according to claim 15, wherein the information indicating presence of the still picture file is displayed on the reduced image of the moving image file.

19. A method according to claim 12, further comprising the steps of:

determining whether the second information is included in the moving image file; and

displaying a reduced image of the still picture file and information indicating presence of the moving image file on a display device, if it is determined that the second information is included in the moving image file.

20. A method according to claim 19, wherein the information indicating presence of the moving image file is displayed in the vicinity of the reduced image of the still picture file.

21. A method according to claim 19, further comprising the steps of:

determining whether the reduced image of the still picture file is selected and;

displaying a reduced image of the moving image file on the display device, if it is determined that the reduced image of the still picture file is selected.

22. A method according to claim 19, wherein the information indicating presence of the moving image file is displayed on the reduced image of the still picture file.
