Abstract

A recording apparatus, including: a camera which picks up a picture from an optical image; a first encoder which encodes the picture by a first encoding method; a second encoder which encodes the picture by a second encoding method which is different from the first encoding method; and a recorder which records a file of the picture encoded by the first encoding method together with a file of the picture encoded by the second encoding method on a recording medium when in photographing of a still picture, and which records a file of the pictures encoded by the first encoding method on the recording medium when in photographing of moving pictures.

Claims (15)

1. A recording apparatus, comprising:

a photographing unit which picks up a moving picture and a still picture;

a first encoder which encodes the moving picture and the still picture by a first encoding method;
