When a video is input from a DV camcorder connected through an IEEE 1394 interface, a DVD recorder displays the input video in a dubbing screen displayed on a monitor of a television and starts dubbing the input video on a DVD. Subsequently, the DVD recorder displays a DV scene cut key for entering a temporary stop command of dubbing the input video on the monitor together with the input video. When the user operates the DV scene cut key with a remote controller, the DVD recorder temporarily stops dubbing the input video on the DVD. Accordingly, it is made possible to dub in a short time while the user reliably cuts the unnecessary scene of the input video being dubbed by properly operating the DV scene cut key just after display of the unnecessary scene is started on the monitor.
