Abstract:
1. A data recording/reproduction apparatus having a plurality of input/output means for inputting and outputting data, said data including video data and audio data and adapted to record data input through said input/output means on a plurality of sections of a recording medium non-linearly accessible in allocated time slots and adapted to reproduce and output through said input/output means the data recorded on said recording medium, said apparatus comprising: a recording/reproduction means for recording material data input through said input/output means on said recording medium and reproducing and outputting through said input/output means any of said material data from said recording medium; a first editing means for a video effect processing means for processing video data in the vicinity of each of said editing points for achieving predetermined specific video effects; a video-effect-processed data extracting means for extracting the data processed for the video effects by said video effect processing means; a recording control means for controlling said recording/reproduction means so as to record said video-effect-processed data extracted by said video-effect-processed data extracting means on said recording medium; a second editing means for inserting said video-effect-processed data recorded by said recording/reproduction means into said first material data, and generating a second piece of editing information used for inserting said second material data as modified by an insertion of said video-effect-processed data into said first material data; a virtual file generating means for generating at least three files, said at least three files comprising: a reproduction control means for control said recording/reproduction means so as to reproduce the first material data, the second material data and the video-effect-processed data recorded on said recording medium on the basis of the first virtual file, the second virtual file and the third virtual file generated by said virtual file generating means.
