The present invention relates to a recording apparatus and method, a storage medium and a program which allow data for a predetermined playback time to be recorded in a contiguous area on the data storage medium, even when an area in which data cannot be recorded exists on the data storage medium. While a stream unit for a predetermined playback time is being recorded on a storage medium 102 , when a recording error occurs, a controller 138 searches for a contiguous blank area greater than the recording capacity of a contiguous recording area in which the stream unit is being recorded. Under the control of the controller 138 , a drive 136 secures, in the beginning of the found area, an area having the same capacity as the data amounts of an IL auxiliary area and a recorded stream unit, records an unrecorded stream unit, and then copies the recorded stream unit. The present invention is applicable to video cameras.
