Abstract
According to the present invention, there is provided an information recording apparatus in which, even when the apparatus is an information recording apparatus which cannot previously determine that a recording signal with any attribute is inputted, a recording signal conformable to DVD video standards which is recorded in an available optical disc can be prevented from being illegally copied. The information recording apparatus includes a CPU for detecting whether a recording signal to be inputted from the outside is a specific recording signal having characteristics as a recording signal recorded in an available optical disc and, when it is detected that the recording signal is the specific recording signal, inhibiting the recording signal from being recorded in an optical disc.
