Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to execute a sequence of processing operations for recording video data recorded to a first recording medium in a first format to a second recording medium in a second format, without user's manual intervention. Any one of three settings is provided in accordance with total time Tx of data to be written to a DVD: a first setting in which a maximum value of image bit rate (first value B1) and a maximum value of audio bit rate (second value B2) are used; a second setting in which a first value of image bit rate and a third value B3 of audio bit rate are used; and a third setting in which a fourth value of image bit rate determined on the basis of a line and the third value B3 of audio bit rate are used. The information processing apparatus may be an apparatus for recording the data recorded to a digital cassette video tape to a DVD.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and a program for executing a sequence of processing operations including the recording of video data recorded to a first recording medium in a first format to a second recording medium in a second format without user's manual intervention. If the information processing apparatus determines that the recording time of a frame just reproduced by a predetermined reproduction device is earlier than the recording time of a frame reproduced by said reproduction device immediately before the above-mentioned frame (step S89) or an unrecorded area has been reproduced by the reproduction device for more than a predetermined period of time (step S90), the information processing apparatus stops the acquisition of the data recorded to a digital video tape reproduced by the reproduction device (step S92), thereby stopping the reproduction of the digital video tape (step S93).
