A video recording/reproducing apparatus comprises a reader for reading out information recorded on a label formed on a non-recording portion of a video recording medium which has a recording portion where a program is recorded and a non-recording portion formed with the label. The label contains bibliographic information of the program recorded on said recording portion and/or information to limit access to the program. The apparatus also has a decoder for decoding the read out information, a character signal storing unit, a controller for controlling the whole apparatus, a video display for outputting a video signal, an on-screen display (OSD) for converting a character string into a signal suitable for the video display, and a video record/playback unit for reproducing the program recorded on the recording portion of the video recording medium and providing the reproduced program to the video display.
