Claim:
An information recording and reproducing device comprising: a title reading unit for reading data about titles of contents recorded on a recording medium; a title menu screen-making unit for making a title menu screen with a background image having the titles of the contents superimposed thereon, and for recording the title menu screen on the recording medium; a framed title image-generating unit for determining, based on the data about titles of contents read by the title reading unit, whether a content among the contents recorded on the recording medium has data about title and, if the content has data about title, allowing the title to be contained in a frame for distinguishing the content from the background image so as to generate a framed title image for the title of the content; and a blank frame image-generating unit for determining whether a content among the contents recorded on the recording medium has data about title and, if the content has no data about title, generating, for the content without data about title, a blank frame image to show the existence of content without a title, wherein the title menu screen-making unit makes, and records on the recording medium, a title menu screen with the background image having superimposed thereon at least one of the framed title image generated by the framed title image-generating unit and the blank frame image generated by the blank frame image-generating unit.
