A data processing apparatus includes: a detection section detecting an image of an object from moving image data; a table creation section recording position information indicating a position on the moving image data in a table on the basis of a detection result by the detection section; a dubbing processing section performing dubbing processing on the moving image data; and a control section controlling the dubbing processing section so as to extract a portion of the moving image data recorded on a first recording medium on the basis of the position information recorded in the table, and to perform the dubbing processing on the extracted portion onto a second recording medium.
