When MPEG streams are connected, audio data is connected without losing continuity, so that playback data which is not unnatural is obtained. In a case where data of videos of a stream is connected to immediately after another video of another stream and these are edited to create still another stream, if a soundless portion occurs, or if an audio is directly connected to another audio and the audio data leads the video data, unnatural playback data results. Therefore, by inserting still another audio, as audio data at the connection point of the still another stream, corresponding to the video to be erased between the still another audio and still another audio, playback data which is not unnatural can be obtained.

Information processing apparatus and method, and recording medium

A magnetic-tape recording apparatus records digital data on a magnetic tape by a rotating head. It includes a first obtaining device for obtaining predetermined-unit video data; a second obtaining device for obtaining audio data corresponding to the predetermined-unit video data; a synthesizing device for synthesizing the predetermined-unit video data and the audio data corresponding to the predetermined-unit video data such that they are continuous on a track in the magnetic tape without any space disposed therebetween; and a sending device for sending data synthesized by the synthesizing device to the rotating head in order to record the data on the magnetic tape.
