An information processing apparatus includes: a data capturing unit controlling a recording medium containing video data and capturing encoding target data; a characteristic extraction unit receiving the encoding target data and extracting a characteristic point, at least including a dividable point, of the encoding target data as a preprocess for encoding; a storage unit storing the encoding target data; a memory unit storing information about the characteristic point extracted by the characteristic extraction unit; a dividing unit dividing the encoding target data into predetermined pieces of divided data; and encoding units encoding the divided data into divided encoded data. The dividing unit determines a dividing point, at which the encoding target data are substantially equally allocatable to the encoding units, on the basis of the total number of the encoding units and the information about the characteristic point, and then allocates the divided data to the encoding units.
