Abstract: An image evaluating section calculates evaluation values of a plurality of game videos recorded in a recording apparatus. A data reduction processing section reduces, on the basis of each of the evaluation values of the plurality of game videos, a data amount of a game video recorded in the recording apparatus. In the recording apparatus, an upper limit capacity is set to a region in which the plurality of game videos are recorded. The data reduction processing section reduces the data amount of the already recorded game videos, when a new game video is recorded in the recording apparatus.

Abstract: An image processing system, an image processing method, a program, and an information storage medium for saving more time and effort than ever in excluding an unwanted image from an image to be delivered, the latter image being one in which is disposed an image captured of a user during play of a game, the captured image being disposed in a region occupying a portion of an image indicating the content of the game being played. A play image acquiring section acquires a play image indicative of game play content. A captured image acquiring section acquires a captured image captured by a camera during play of the game. A user image generating section generates a user image occupying in the captured image a region in which is disposed an image of the user as a delivery target. A delivery image to be delivered is generated on the basis of the play image and the user image.

Abstract: A message generation unit generates a notification message. A setting unit registers setting information determining whether or not a camera image is to be included in a distribution image. A distribution processing unit distributes a distribution image. When the camera image is set to be included in the distribution image, an image processing unit generates the distribution image including a region in which the notification message is superimposed. When the camera image is set not to be included in the distribution image, the image processing unit generates the distribution image not including the region in which the notification message is superimposed.

Abstract: An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including a game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more of information processing terminals through a shared server. A participation processing unit 128 accepts play requests of viewing users operating the information processing terminals and approves a game play of one of the viewing users who has made a request for a play. An application execution unit 110 processes a game using operation information transmitted from the information processing terminal operated by the viewing user the game play of which has been approved.

Abstract: A game image generation unit generates a game image, and a game audio generation unit generates a game audio. An audio acquiring unit acquires a microphone audio input to a microphone. A distribution processing unit distributes the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image. An accepting unit accepts an operation made by a user. During distribution of the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image, after the accepting unit accepts a predetermined operation, the distribution processing unit operates in either a first mode in which a first standby image is distributed and the microphone audio is distributed as well or a second mode in which a second standby image is distributed but the microphone audio is not distributed.
