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 S) or an unrecorded area has been reproduced by the reproduction device for more than a predetermined period of time (step S), the information processing apparatus stops the acquisition of the data recorded to a digital video tape reproduced by the reproduction device (step S), thereby stopping the reproduction of the digital video tape (step S). The present invention is applicable to information processing apparatus for recording data from digital cassette video tape to DVD, for example.
