A recording and reproducing device having a detector, which detects the beginning of inputting a string of characters associated with a user input while recording or reproducing video and/or audio data, storing marking position data with reference to the beginning of the inputting characters of the character string, at the point in time detected by the detector. Wherein a reproducing operation of the recorded data, can be done at a starting point specified pointing to character strings. This allows the user to select character strings generated in a character display area, whereby the recorded video data can be reproduced from the positions stored with reference to user selected character strings.
