INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

A host CPU (13) provides a convenient information processing device capable of reducing the CPU load and having a high reliability so as to increase the transfer rate during recording and increase the recording medium use efficiency. The host CPU (13) judges whether the information signal supplied to it is moving picture information according to an instruction input from a user received via a key operation section (14) and information contained in the supplied information signal. When the information is moving picture information, an empty block consisting of a plurality of clusters is detected by referencing FAT information of a hard disc (11) selected as a recording medium, for example, via a medium controller (10) and the moving picture information is recorded on the detected empty block basis. When the supplied information is other than the moving picture information, it is recorded on cluster basis in empty clusters.
