An audio/video information recording and reproducing apparatus and method are provided, in which a post-recording function can be realized on an optical disc easily even with an inexpensive disc drive having a seek time at a relative low speed. In the case of recording a video file, the video file is recorded on an optical disc continuously for a period of time related to three times or more the seek time. Then, in the case of recording an audio for lip-sync, the audio for lip-sync is recorded continuously by a predetermined data size, and simultaneously, the recorded video file is reproduced, whereby real-time continuous reproduction and recording are performed simultaneously. Because of this, in the case of reproducing the audio for lip-sync, simultaneous reproduction of a video file and an audio file can be assured.
