In step S408, the system control unit 50 creates a new movie file on the recording medium 200, and records the latest chapter recorded in the process of step S404 as part of the created movie file. FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate recording formats of movies recorded on the recording medium 200. FIGS. 8A-1 and 8A-2 illustrate recording formats of a series of movies constituting a set in the creative movie recording. FIG. 8B illustrates a recording format of a movie in movie recording in the automatic mode. FIG. 8A-1 illustrates a recording format of a case in which four chapters are arranged in order in a single created movie file 801, whereby a series of movies constituting a set is created. In the present exemplary embodiment, the description will be given assuming that a series of movies constituting a set is recorded as a single movie file. Nevertheless, movies obtained through a series of recordings may not be recorded as a single movie file. For example, a series of movies constituting a set may be created in the following manner. As illustrated in FIG. 8A-2, the movies are recorded on the recording medium 200 as separate movie files, and the same attribute information (set information 802) is added to these movies, whereby a set of movies is created. In this manner, when a movie corresponding to a chapter is created as a movie file, in step S408, a movie recorded with new set information 802 being added is recorded as a movie file. When four movie files (chapters) having the same set information 802 are recorded on the recording medium 200, a series of movies constituting a set is completed (the four movie files can be reproduced as a series of movies). As another alternative, the following case is also included. Information that can associate a plurality of obtained movies with one another may be added to the plurality of movies so as to form a set of movies later. In this case, the plurality of movies is reproduced or connected as a set of movies actually by an application or software. The set of movies, however, are assumed to be created by a creation unit that has recorded the plurality of movies in association with one another.
