PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a time-delay viewing operation easily by a method wherein a circular buffer region in which a first video-taped broadcasting signal is reproduced in real time is arranged in the prescribed position of a recording medium, a video file region in which a second video-taped broadcasting signal is controlled is arranged in the other prescribed position of the recording medium, and a control information region is arranged in the other prescribed position of the recording medium. SOLUTION: A circular buffer region 130 for a time-delay viewing operation is set in a hard-disk recording region, preferably in right and left adjacent tracks which use a center track #n/2 as a moundary. On the other hand, video file regions #1 110A, #2 110B which are situated respectively in the outer circumferential side and the inner circumferential side of a hard dick are used as regions in which a broadcasting signal is video-taped in a reserved time, and a video stream which is video-taped according to a recording time is controlled in units of a logic file. When the circular buffer region 130 is arranged in the central part of the hard-disk recording region, an average search time can be minimized.
