RECORDING MEDIA, AND RECORDING / REPRODUCING APPARATUS

摘要

To make a search for an image recorded on an optical disk (10), a registration trigger is generated either automatically by a microcomputer block (30) or manually by an operator, a pointer indicative of the recording position of a main image serving as an index image is recorded on a predetermined location on the optical disk (10) by means of a data processor (36) and a disk drive (32), index image data for the index image are generated by an encoder section (50), and the index image data are recorded in a user menu file on the optical disk (10) from an index image buffer memory (59) through a formatter (56), the data processor (36) and the disk drive (32).
