Interleave mode for helical scan recording

摘要

An improved utilization of the storage space on a helical scan recording and/or reproduction apparatus in particular according to the D6 format. In the case of a data transfer rate in which the apparatus recording rate corresponds to an integer multiple of the data transfer rate of data signals to be recorded, the recording is effected in a manner dependent on the ratio of apparatus recording rate to the data transfer rate by a corresponding first portion of the volume of data being written to first data frames ( 7 ) and, after corresponding rewinding, by the corresponding second portion of the volume of data subsequently being written to second data frames ( 8 ).
