Abstract:
1. A hard disk recorder to be connected via a cable to a source device(s) to be dubbed from, which includes a DV (Digital Video) camcorder, the hard disk recorder comprising: an operation means for commanding and operating the DV camcorder and the hard disk recorder itself; an interface unit for sending and receiving control commands and response signals to and from the DV camcorder, and for receiving recorded video files from the DV camcorder; hard disks for storing various recorded video files including recorded video files received and dubbed from the source device(s) including the DV camcorder via the interface unit; and a microprocessor for controlling processes in the hard disk recorder itself when the hard disk recorder is connected to the DV camcorder, in which the processes include a process of editing and creating a list display screen for displaying a list of recorded video files, and a process of displaying the list display screen on a display means, wherein when a user, using the operation means, commands dubbing of a recorded video file from a connected source device to be dubbed from, the microprocessor dubs the recorded video file, and adds, to the thus dubbed recorded video file, source device-identifying information to identity the connected source device to be dubbed from (such information being hereafter referred to simply as “source-identifying information”), and wherein when the hard disc recorder is connected to the DV camcorder, the microprocessor implements a process such that based on the added source-identifying information, and from the various recorded video files stored on the hard disks, the microprocessor automatically selectively extracts the recorded video files dubbed from the DV camcorder, and edits and creates a list display screen formed of the thus extracted recorded video files, and further outputs the thus created list display screen on the display means.
