A DVD recorder connected to a DV camera via an IEEE 1394 serial bus comprises: an image selector for selecting a moving image, as a candidate image for an opening/ending screen, from moving images contained in stream data received from the camera; a moving image extractor for extracting the selected moving image from the moving images; a storage unit for temporarily storing the extracted moving image; an image converter for converting the stored moving image into a still image; a title screen selector for selecting, from the still images, a still image to be an opening/ending screen for a file of stream data recorded in the recorder; and a data associating unit for associating the selected still image with the file of stream data. This recorder can be more convenient to use, and can reduce the required recording area of a DVD for creating the opening/ending screen.
