Abstract
A video recording and reproducing apparatus for simultaneously displaying a plurality of image contents recorded at given time points or images at a plurality of given portions within the same image contents is disclosed. A plurality of images read from a randomly accessible data storage unit for storing the images recorded by an image recording unit are synthesized into a single screen by an image synthesizer. An information processing unit reads from the image recording unit a plurality of image contents recorded at different time points or a group of images recorded at a plurality of different time points in a given one image content and causes the image synthesizer to display, by synthesizing the image contents or the images, as the case may be, on a single screen.
