Abstract

An object is to provide a video recording/playing apparatus for facilitating recording/playing of motion pictures. The configuration is provided with, at least, a video input device for inputting analog motion pictures (video), a video capture device for digitizing the motion pictures inputted through the video input device and recording the digitized motion pictures and, at the same time, for converting the motion pictures inputted through the video input device into compressed motion pictures capable of being played in a high compression ratio and in a high picture quality and recording the compressed motion pictures, an information extracting device for extracting arbitrary information from the non-compressed motion pictures captured by the video capture device, a correspondence information generating device for associating the information extracted by the information extracting device with the compressed motion pictures captured by the video capture device, an input device for designating a result of the correspondence, and a compressed video playing device for playing the compressed motion pictures.
