摘要

Picture image data having high image quality is recorded in a disk-shaped recording medium such as a hard disk and a removable disk. A recording apparatus is arranged by a first unit for recording image data with respect to a disk-shaped recording medium in which an outer peripheral sided region thereof is recordable/reproduceable at a higher rate than that of an inner peripheral sided region thereof, and a second unit for designating an attribute of image data recorded in the disk-shaped recording medium. When the second unit designates image data having a large data amount per unit time, the first unit records the image data having the large data amount per unit time in the inner peripheral sided region of the disk-shaped recording medium, whereas when the second unit designates image data having a small data amount per unit time, the first unit records the image data having the small data amount per unit time in the inner peripheral sided region of the disk-shaped recording medium.
