Abstract
An image recording and replaying apparatus in which a repeat recording control unit receives specification of a repeat recording time period, and instructs an image data recording unit to record image data; the image data recording unit records the image data into files having capacity corresponding to a predetermined time period; a replay control mode setting unit, under control of the repeat recording control unit, sets an all-replays-available mode for files recorded within the specified repeat recording time period back from the current time, and sets a replay restriction mode for a file that was recorded in the predetermined time period immediately before the repeat recording time period; and a replay control mode judging unit outputs a warning that special replays other than fast forward are not available if it judges that a currently replayed file is set to the replay restriction mode.
