A creating apparatus, a creating method, and a recording medium of a JPEG(Join Picture Experts Group) file comprising sound and audio data are provided to combine image data and sound/audio data in a JPEG file format to create a JPEG file, and then easily record, store, and reproduce the JPEG file. A sound/audio encoder(412) encodes sound/audio data, and outputs the encoded sound/audio data. A first buffer(413) stores the encoded sound/audio data. A JPEG encoder(416) encodes image data, and outputs JPEG image data. A JPEG packing unit(414) receives the encoded sound/audio data from the first butter(413) and the JPEG image data from the JPEG encoder(416). The JPEG packing unit(414) packs the encoded sound/audio data and the JPEG image data to create a JPEG file, and outputs the JPEG file.
