An HDD recorder connected to a DV camcorder via an IEEE 1394 serial bus cable comprises hard disks and a microprocessor having a function that when the HDD recorder is connected to the DV camcorder while a list display screen with a list of various recorded video files is displayed on a monitor, the microprocessor implements a process to edit the list display screen in a manner that based on source device-identifying information, and from the various recorded video files stored on the hard disks, the microprocessor extracts only the recorded video files dubbed from the DV camcorder, and displays the thus extracted recorded video files on the list display screen. This makes it possible for the HDD recorder to significantly reduce time and labor required to find, from the stored various recorded video files, a recorded video file dubbed from the DV camcorder.
