An information processing apparatus for recording and reproducing first information that comprises at least moving image data, the apparatus comprising: a breakpoint candidate setting processor for determining a breakpoint candidate of said first information input (16, 18) to the apparatus by detecting a scene change in the first information; generating means for generating second information containing breakpoint candidate position information of the breakpoint candidate determined by the breakpoint candidate setting processor; recording means for recording the input first information and the second information generated by the generating means with the first information and the second information bound to each other; reproducing means for reproducing said bound first and second information responsive to a dubbing command, the dubbing command indicating to record a desired portion of said first information; display control means for controlling display of said reproduced first information; display speed control means (51, 853-359, 866, 867) for controlling a display speed of the reproduced first information, displayed under the control of the display control means, in response to the second information, wherein the display speed control means is operative to control the display speed of the first information in response to the second information so that the first information is displayed at a low speed within a predetermined period in the vicinity of the breakpoint candidate and at a high speed in the remaining period of the first information; and operation input means (12, 81) enabling a user to generate said dubbing command and to erase or change said breakpoint candidate as a breakpoint within said predetermined period. a breakpoint candidate setting processor for determining a breakpoint candidate of said first information input (16, 18) to the apparatus by detecting a scene change in the first information; generating means for generating second information containing breakpoint candidate position information of the breakpoint candidate determined by the breakpoint candidate setting processor; recording means for recording the input first information and the second information generated by the generating means with the first information and the second information bound to each other; reproducing means for reproducing said bound first and second information responsive to a dubbing command, the dubbing command indicating to record a desired portion of said first information; display control means for controlling display of said reproduced first information; display speed control means (51, 853-359, 866, 867) for controlling a display speed of the reproduced first information, displayed under the control of the display control means, in response to the second information, wherein the display speed control means is operative to control the display speed of the first information in response to the second information so that the first information is displayed at a low speed within a predetermined period in the vicinity of the breakpoint candidate and at a high speed in the remaining period of the first information; and operation input means (12, 81) enabling a user to generate said dubbing command and to erase or change said breakpoint candidate as a breakpoint within said predetermined period.
