According to an information recording/reproducing method by which, at recording or reproduction of data, the data are temporarily stored in a memory to perform the recording or reproduction, when recording or reproduction of the data stored in the memory is performed with dividing data, recording or reproduction of subsequent data is performed without dividing the data, and when recording or reproduction of the data stored in the memory is performed without dividing data, recording or reproduction of subsequent data is performed with divided the data. Accordingly, in a disc device that records or reproduces video on/from a disc, when data stored in a memory is recorded or reproduced without dividing the data and thereafter subsequent recording or reproduction is performed, a rotational delay would not occur, and the increase in the recording/reproduction execution time resulting from the rotational delay is avoided, whereby the data recording/reproduction execution time can be optimized.
