RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A recording/reproducing apparatus for special-reproducing a stable special reproduced image with a simple processing without performing time management for every double-speed reproduction. A normal-reproduction record data creating section (1) creates a record data for normal reproduction from a bit stream (201). A special-reproduction record data creating section (2) creates record data for special reproduction from the bit stream (201). A packet creating section (3) creates a time information packet representing time information for performing output time information on a reproduced image and a control information packet representing control information for decoding the record data for special reproduction, and outputs each packet to the special-reproduction record data creating section (2) so that the time information and control information may be recorded at predetermined places in a special-reproduction area. A recording section (5) records the normal-reproduction record data in a normal-reproduction area preliminarily defined on a recording medium (202) and the special-reproduction record data in the special reproduction area through a recording head (6).
