A video recording/reproducing apparatus includes a recording system for inputting video information via an input unit and successively recording and accumulating the input information in an HDD, and a reproducing system for reading the information in the order of input from the HDD for the purpose of reproducing the information to output an image via an output unit. In the recording system, the input information is successively recorded in a buffer which allows a higher writing/reading relative to the HDD, temporarily stored in the buffer, and then read from the buffer in the order to input to be processed and written to the HDD. For a live reproduction, if a CPU determines that information to be reproduced is recorded in the buffer, the CPU controls an AVSW (audio-visual switch) to switch it for reading the information not from the HDD but from the buffer and output the information to the output unit.
