Abstract: A method of achieving an operation by sequentially selecting menu items arranged in a plurality of menu levels is provided. The method includes the steps of: generating a menu in which one or more menu items are arranged along a predetermined direction on a display screen; and controlling display of the generated menu. In the present method, a display form of one of the menu levels, which was previously available for selection, changes in response to an operation for shifting the menu level.

Abstract: In order to record content on a hard disk drive to a source, when a source icon corresponding to the hard disk drive is dragged in a source icon section on a control bar in a display window, an arrow is added above an available source icon corresponding to an MD drive to which the content read from the hard disk drive can be supplied and recorded. An unavailable source icon corresponding to a source to which the content cannot be supplied and recorded is displayed in a grayed-out manner. When the dragged source icon is dropped onto the source icon corresponding to the MD drive, the content on the hard disk drive is read, and is recorded to an MD inserted in the MD drive.

Abstract: This invention relate to an information processing apparatus comprising first recording means for recording one moving picture in at least one recording increment; second recording means for recording a still picture corresponding to the moving picture in keeping with the recording increment of the moving picture; and third recording means for recording information about the moving picture being recorded by the first recording means.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus and process for dealing with moving pictures. A storage stores still pictures corresponding to scene switchovers of the moving pictures, and time stamps of the scene switchovers. A display controller provides a display control to display, given a reference position on the screen, the still pictures in positions at distances from the reference position. Those distances reflect differences between a time stamp corresponding to the reference position and the time stamp of the scene switchovers.
