The present invention relates to a recoding apparatus and a recording method, a playback apparatus and a playback method, a recording/playback apparatus and a recording/playback method, and a program, whereby processing relating to a file can be readily performed. With a video camera wherein with regard to H.264/AVC for example, which is a coding method arranged to encode or decode data, a codec class arranged to classify the performance of a codec configured to encode or decode data, and a codec level serving as a group of said one or more codec classes whose upper compatibility is ensured, are based on stipulated specifications, data is encoded into, for example, coded data of a codec class #, for example, within a codec level AVC_A by H.264/AVC. The coded data is recorded in a recording medium, for example, as a file 'AVCA0001.MP4' whose file name represents the codec level AVC_A of the coded data. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a video camera from which a recording medium can be detachable.

Recording apparatus and recording method, playback apparatus and playback method, recording/playback apparatus and recording/playback method, and program

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that processes an encrypted content. The apparatus includes a control section configured to control the following processes, such as a generation process, a moving range determination process, a holding process, a copying process, and an inactivation process. Such processes are to be performed independently in a specified order as a process for achieving moving out of at least a part of the encrypted content from a moving source to a moving destination.

Information processing apparatus and method, and a program

In a disk drive apparatus for driving a CD or CD-ROM having a disk tray with a recess, the recess is provided with a plurality of pawls that keep the disk stable when it is loaded in the recess and the apparatus is vertical. In this way, unexpected contact of the outer circumference of the disk with the outer circumference of the recess is avoided. The recess is moreover provided with insulators that fully allow deformation or displacement of a base unit in one direction, but minimize it in other directions. External vibrations acting on the apparatus when it is vertical are therefore effectively damped, and rotation of the disk in the apparatus is steady.
