Abstract
Present invention relates to a recording apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program which are intended to enhance the speed of recording. On the basis of erasure block information and cluster information obtained from a Memory Stick, the CPUobtains the size of a data-block configured by clusters and, on the basis of the obtained data block size, adjusts the data block start position, thereby initializing the Memory Stick. In recording moving-picture data to the Memory Stick, the CPUrecords the moving-picture data, in units of data blocks, to a data block of which clusters are all free. The present invention is applicable to camera-integrated video recorders or digital still cameras.
