Abstract: There is disclosed an information recording/reproducing apparatus includes an extraction unit which receives a source signal including image signal standard information, and extracts/outputs the image signal standard information, a recording unit which generates contents information having a pack form from the source signal, generates control information in accordance with the extracted image signal standard information, and records the information in a storage region of the recording medium, and a reproduction unit which reads out the control information and contents information recorded in the storage region by the recording unit, demodulates the contents information, and reproduces the contents information based on the control information.

Abstract: A new navigation function is added to a legacy DVD-Video. A player unit plays back recorded contents, that include video contents or AV contents and ENAV contents associated with contents (menu, chapter) of the video contents, from a DVD-Video disc. The video contents of the DVD disc are played back by a video playback engine. The ENAV contents of the DVD disc are played back by an ENAV engine. The ENAV engine controls playback of the ENAV contents and that of the video contents in combination, connection, and/or synchronism with each other according to the played-back contents of the ENAV contents.
