ABSTRACT:
A free space detection section detects a free space of a recording medium. A recording capacity calculation section calculates a recording capacity necessary for recording a program in the form of a first encoded signal on the recording medium. A signal control section for comparing the free space detected by the free space detection section and the recording capacity calculated by the recording capacity calculation section. A signal selection section selects at least one of the first encoded signal and a second encoded signal according to a result of the comparison by the signal control section. A recording section records the encoded signal selected by the signal selection section on the recording medium. The first encoded signal is obtained by compressively encoding the program at a first compression ratio. The second encoded signal is obtained by compressively encoding the program at a second compression ratio which is higher than the first compression ratio.
