An information recording apparatus records information including a plurality of information groups onto a recording medium. Each of the plurality of information groups includes a plurality of images. The apparatus has: a first recording device for recording the plurality of images onto the recording medium for each of the plurality of information groups; an reproduction device for reproducing the plurality of images for each of the plurality of the information groups, while the first recording device is recording the plurality of images onto the recording medium; a selection device for selecting one image from the plurality of images reproduced by the reproduction device as an identification image for identifying one of the plurality of information group in which the selected one image is included, while the first recording device is recording the plurality of images onto the recording medium; and a second recording device for recording at least either one of the identification image and information designating the identification image onto the recording medium.

Information recording apparatus and information reproducing apparatus

An arbitrary desired reproducing time is set for reproducing information recorded on a recording medium, and an ordinary reproducing time is obtained based on management information recorded on the recording medium when the recorded information is reproduced at a standard reproducing speed. A skipping rate is calculated from the desired reproducing time and the ordinary reproducing time. A reproducing device is provided for reproducing the information recorded on the recording medium in the set desired reproducing time at the calculated skipping rate.
