A file body of an MXF file having an AV multiplex format comprises one or more essence containers each having a size equal to the length of an annual ring. These essence containers are each managed as a movie data atom in the structure of a QT file. That is to say, since each essence container included in the file body of an MXF file is generated for each predetermined annual-ring length, the movie data atom included in the QT file as an atom corresponding to the essence container can also be composed of AV data having an amount equivalent to the length of an annual ring and the size of the movie data atom can be described in an mdat header of the atom. Thus, a file can be transmitted to another apparatus in an on-the-fly manner while imaging an object. To be more specific, a file can be transmitted between a broadcasting apparatus and a personal computer in a real-time manner. The present invention can be applied to a video-recording apparatus.
