Image recording/reproducing apparatus which displays images to be searched

摘要

A TOC region is provided on a DAT tape. In the TOC region reduced still image data is recorded as one still image and is obtained by reducing each still picture data recorded in each of a plurality of still picture/audio composite data regions provided subsequently to the TOC region. A first address of each still picture/audio composite data is also recorded in the TOC region. At the time of reproduction, the TOC region is reproduced and the still image based on the reduced still image data is shown on a display. When an operator selects a specific still image among the plurality of displayed still pictures, the corresponding still picture/audio composite data is reproduced based on an address corresponding to the selected still picture.
