Abstract

A description is provided of an information signal recording/reproducing apparatus and an information signal recording/reproducing method, in which a CM-cut reproduction can be performed without erroneously determining a program based on a stereo sound as a CM. A video and audio signal is divided into a plurality of cells on the basis of switching time points between audio modes of the video and audio signal. A play list indicating a reproducing procedure to selectively reproduce only the cells each having a reproduction time longer than a predetermined time among the plurality of cells is generated.
