Recording apparatus and control method thereof

A recording apparatus comprising:

• an image capturing unit;
• a setting unit configured to independently set conditions of a plurality of moving image data to be simultaneously recorded in a plurality of recording media in a simultaneous recording mode according to a user instruction, the conditions including a plurality of items;
• a processing unit configured to process the moving image data acquired by said image capturing unit according to the conditions set by said setting unit so as to generate a plurality of moving image data to be recorded in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode;
• a generation unit configured to generate a plurality of pieces of identification information respectively for the plurality of moving image data to be recorded in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode;
• and
• a recording unit configured to record the plurality of moving image data generated by said processing unit and the plurality of pieces of identification information generated by said generation unit in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode,
• wherein when different conditions are set in at least some of the plurality of items related to the moving image data to be simultaneously recorded in the plurality of recording media, said generation unit generates a plurality of pieces of identification information which assume different values for the moving image data to be simultaneously recorded in the plurality of recording media.

A control method of a recording apparatus, comprising:

• a setting step of independently setting conditions of a plurality of information data to be simultaneously recorded in a plurality of recording media in a simultaneous recording mode according to a user instruction;
• a processing step of processing information data according to the conditions set in the setting step so as to generate a plurality of information data to be recorded in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode;
• a generation step of generating a plurality of pieces of identification information respectively for the plurality of information data to be recorded in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode;
• and
• a recording step of recording the plurality of information data generated in the processing step and the plurality of pieces of identification information generated in the generation step in the plurality of recording media in the simultaneous recording mode,
• wherein in the generation step, when different conditions are set as the conditions of the information data to be simultaneously recorded in the plurality of recording media, a plurality of pieces of identification information which have different values are generated for the information data to be simultaneously recorded in the plurality of recording media.
