INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, RECORDING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus which can reduce useless areas of a recording medium while reducing fragmentation in the recording medium, by distributing and recording data so as to reduce fragmentation of free areas of the recording medium in recording the data in the recording medium. SOLUTION: The information processing apparatus includes: a recording section which records data in a recording medium; a detecting section which detects continuous or fragmented free areas in minimum allocation unit of the recording medium; and a recording control section which controls the recording section so that the recording section sequentially records data in the continuous free areas of the recording medium detected by the detecting section, and at the time point when the recording is completed, the recording section moves an end portion of the recorded data to the fragmented free areas of the recording medium detected by the detecting section so as to record it there.
