Abstract

A recording and reproducing apparatus for displaying a content file list, a content file list displaying method and a recording medium storing a program performing the method, which are capable of easily identifying a paused content file and memorizing a point of the content file which reproducing is paused and content of the content file at the paused point, are provided. The method includes: determining whether or not a paused content file exists; creating a content file list capable of identifying the paused content file with reference to the result of the determination; and displaying the created content file list.

Claims

1. A method for displaying a content file list, the method comprising:

determining whether at least one paused content file exists;

in response to the determining that the at least one paused content file exists, generating a content file list configured to identify the at least one paused content file, wherein the at least one paused content file is distinguishably displayed from other content files on the content file list by at least one of an identification mark and moving picture viewable during a specified time period; and

displaying the generated content file list.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a moving picture clip which displays the moving picture using the paused content file from a predetermined time to a point at which reproduction of the paused content file is paused.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the specified time period corresponds to time period between the predetermined time to the point at which reproduction of the paused content file is paused.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising storing position information regarding a point at which reproduction is stopped.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising generating the moving picture clip when a cursor is positioned on the paused content file.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the moving picture is repeatedly viewable.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the moving picture is repeatedly viewable while a cursor is positioned on the paused content file.

8. An apparatus for displaying a content file list, the apparatus comprising:

a determiner, including a processor and a memory, configured to determine whether at least one paused content file exists;

a content file list creator configured to generate, in response to the determination that the at least one paused content file exists, a content file list configured to identify the at least one paused content file, wherein the at least one paused content file is distinguishably displayed from other content files on the content file list by at least one of an identification mark and moving picture viewable during a specified time period; and

a display configured to display the generated content file list.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the content file list creator is further configured to generate a moving picture clip which displays the moving picture using the paused content file from a predetermined time to a point at which reproduction of the paused content file is paused.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the specified time period corresponds to time period between the predetermined time to the point at which reproduction of the paused content file is paused.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a storage configured to store position information regarding a point at which reproduction is stopped.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the content file list creator is configured to generate the moving picture clip when a cursor is positioned on the paused content file.

13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the moving picture is repeatedly viewable.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the moving picture is repeatedly viewable while a cursor is positioned on the paused content file.
