An information processing apparatus for capturing an input stream in a plurality of recording formats and recording a plurality of captured streams on a same recording medium. The information processing apparatus includes an extracting unit operable to extract from the input stream characteristic data representing characteristics of the stream; and a recording unit operable to record the extracted characteristic data, predetermined data based on the extracted characteristic data, or both the extracted characteristic data and the predetermined data as common data representing the characteristics of the streams individually captured in the plurality of recording formats. When the information processing apparatus processes data recorded on a recording medium including a plurality of streams in a plurality of recording formats, if characteristic data is not recorded on the recording medium, the information processing apparatus extracts and records characteristics of the stream, or the like in the same manner as described above.
