An apparatus of this invention can record and reproduce compressed video information on a contained hard disk in a format of the same DVD standard and can record and reproduce compressed video information on a removable DVD. Further, it is possible to specify a disk and make picture recording reservation and a reservation table thereof is stored in a memory. Then, picture recording reservation time information and the remaining capacity of the disk are calculated and whether or not reservation picture recording can be made can be displayed in a list form.
