A method of and apparatus for recording selected AV (Audio/Video) data from a first data store ( 106 ) to an AVDDM (Audio/Video Distributable Data Medium) ( 102 ) is described. The method comprises reading a portion ( 104, 112, 122 ) of the selected AV data from the first store ( 106 ); and transferring ( 108, 120 ) the read portion ( 104, 112, 122 ) to an AVDDM recorder ( 70 ) via a second store ( 114 ) in which the read portion ( 104, 112, 122 ) has been temporarily stored. The read portion ( 104, 112, 122 ) is then recorded ( 110 ) onto the AVDDM (e.g. a CD) ( 102 ). These processing steps are repeated until all the portions of the selected AV data have been recorded onto the AVDDM ( 70 ) and at least the reading, and recording steps are carried out simultaneously for different portions of the selected AV data. The apparatus can also be used as part of a compiling apparatus which is linked to a remote database preferably via a satellite link ( 28 ) and comprises a user-friendly simple GUI (Graphical User Interface).
