Summary:An image coding apparatus records stereoscopic video partially as 2D video so as to enable display to be performed while seamlessly switching between 3D video and 2D video, and includes: a control unit that sets one of a 2D coding mode and a 3D coding mode which are modes of coding the stereoscopic video so that, when displayed in 3D, the stereoscopic video is displayed as 2D video and 3D video respectively; and a coding unit that, in the case where the control unit switches from the 3D coding mode to the 2D coding mode, codes the to stereoscopic video according to a 3D coding standard in the 3D coding mode, and codes the stereoscopic video according to the 3D coding standard using a coding condition in the 2D coding mode, the coding condition being a condition for causing the stereoscopic video to be viewed as the 2D video when displayed.
