Abstract: An information processing device previously includes music options for use as a BGM, and these music options are each correlated to the details of an effect to represent the atmosphere matching the BGM. After a user selects a specific photo album storing still images for playback, and then a BGM, a playlist is created to define the order for playing back the still images stored in the photo album with the effect corresponding to the BGM. The present invention is applicable to equipment such as personal computers capable of handling still images, and therewith, effect-applied still images can be displayed easily and swiftly in a sequential manner.

Abstract: A recording apparatus dubs content recorded in a recording medium loaded into a different apparatus connected to the recording apparatus. The apparatus includes a database storing information in which the medium and identifiers are associated with each other, the identifiers specifying already dubbed scenes among scenes that are unit data items, a media-type determining unit that determines whether the medium in the different apparatus is a predetermined type of recording medium in which the content can be recorded in a form in which a unique identifier is added to each of the scenes forming the content, and a dubbing range setting unit that sets a dubbing range by using, as a new scene to be dubbed, a scene different from the already dubbed scenes on the basis of the information when it is determined that the medium in the different apparatus is the predetermined type of recording medium.
