There is provided a recording apparatus. A control unit repeatedly executes a recording operation of recording data into a recording medium having a recording area that includes a plurality of partial areas. The control unit performs control so that one partial area included among the plurality of partial areas is used as a recording destination, and when the one partial area is filled with recorded data, another partial area is used as a recording destination. The control unit performs control so that a size of data recorded in a single recording operation does not exceed a remaining size of a partial area that is used as a recording destination in the single recording operation.

A method of placing an ad in a video in an original format may include producing a transcoded video in a proxy format which is a representation of frames of the video in the original format. The transcoded video in the proxy format is convertible to other formats for output. The method may include selecting the ad from a set of ads, selecting a location within a frame of the transcoded video where the ad is to be placed, selecting frames of the transcoded video where the ad is to be placed, placing a placeholder in the transcoded video in the selected frames at the selected location, and storing the transcoded video in the proxy format. When the transcoded video is presented to a user on a display device, the selected ad is inserted in place of the placeholder.

The present technology relates to a reproducing apparatus for enabling an appropriate video depending on a viewing environment to be reproduced, a reproducing method, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and a recording medium. The reproducing apparatus according to the present technology analyzes reproduction management information describing therein type information on a form of providing a HDR video which is compatible with a SDR video with a standard luminance range and whose luminance range is wider than the standard luminance range or a form of providing the SDR video compatible with the HDR video. Further, the reproducing apparatus acquires and reproduces encoding data of the HDR video or encoding data of the SDR video provided in a form indicated by the type information. The present technology is applicable to Blu-ray Disc players.

Exemplary drone detection, tracking, and control systems as well as related methods are provided. An exemplary system can include directional antennas and a movement system that moves the directional antennas in various azimuth and elevation orientations. A control system includes a video signal processor, a transceiver, an input/output system, a user interface, a wireless system, a machine instruction storage medium, and a plurality of machine readable instructions that operate the antenna assembly to detect, orient on, and record at least a video signal from a moveable platform as well as generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that shows a map with a user location, the antenna system location, and orientation of the antenna assembly with line of bearing. The GUI also displaying a plurality of radio channel and detected signal information. A display is provided that displays the GUI and enables user interaction with the GUI and system.

A recording control apparatus includes a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire video data obtained by shooting an area around a vehicle, an event detection unit configured to detect an occurrence of a predetermined event in the vehicle, a changing-point determination unit configured to determine whether or not the vehicle has passed a changing point on a traveling road based on a current position information of the vehicle, and a recording control unit configured to, when the event detection unit detects the occurrence of the event, record the video data including a first period as an event recording file in a recording unit, the first period being from a passing time point of the changing point to a detecting time point of the event, the changing point being a point that the vehicle has passed at least a first time earlier than the detecting time point of the event.

An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology performs a search for a recorded program and a program to be provided later to acquire a first search result in a case where a character string indicating content of an utterance of a user does not include a predetermined character string indicating the setting of the schedule recording of the program to be provided later and performs a search for the program to be provided later to acquire a second search result in a case where the character string includes the predetermined character string. In a case where a program whose schedule recording is to be set is selected from a display screen of the second search result, the information processing apparatus sets the schedule recording of the selected program without displaying a detail screen.

Recorded in a recording medium are a video stream of standard-luminance range, and a video stream of high-luminance range that is a broader luminance range than the standard-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with a playback environment, a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range, and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with the playback environment, and a playlist file storing playback control information of content, playlist file including a management region where the playback control information relating to a main stream is stored, and an extended region. The management region stores first playback control information specifying playing of a video stream of the high-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range in combination. The extended region stores second playback control information specifying playing of a video stream of the standard-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range in combination.

A network editor comprises a central location with stored videos such as movies that can be edited by editors at remote locations. An editor receives a representation of a video and specifies edits relative to the representation, enabling the editor to use a device lacking sufficient processing capability to edit the video directly, and also reducing the volume of information transmitted between the central location and the remote editor. The central location is able to provide the edited movie in a format suitable to the display capabilities of the viewing device of the viewer requesting the edited video.

A video player includes the user interface comprising: a video display; a texture strip visually representing a series of frames of a video, the texture strip comprising a sequence of textured frame representations, each textured frame representation in sequence of textured frame representations representing a corresponding frame from a series of frames; a control to allow a user to use the texture strip to seek frames in the series of frames in a random manner. An input is received via the control, the input including an indication of a selection of a location in the texture strip, the location in the texture strip having a corresponding temporal location in the series of frames. Based on the input, a frame selected from the series of frames is displayed in the video display, the selected frame located at the corresponding temporal location in the series of frames.

A recording medium includes a video stream of a standard-luminance range and a video stream of high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with a playback environment. The recording medium also includes a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with the playback environment. A playlist file includes a management region where playback control information relating to a main stream is stored, and includes an extended region. The management region stores first playback control information specifying playing of the video stream of the high-luminance range and the subtitle stream of the high-luminance range in combination. The extended region stores second playback control information specifying playing of the video stream of the standard-luminance range and the subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range in combination.
