Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A video recording apparatus is provided that can provide the user with information as to whether or not scheduled image captures will fit into a recording medium or information as to how many retakes are possible. The apparatus obtains, for each scene to be captured, the duration of a cut to be captured from scenario information in which the duration of each of the cuts constituting the scene is specified. The recordable duration is calculated from the remaining capacity of the recording medium in which video data is to be recorded and a recording bit rate of the video data, and the number of image captures that can be taken for the cut to be captured is calculated from the calculated recordable duration and the obtained duration. The calculated recordable duration and the calculated number of image captures that can be taken are displayed on a display unit.
