Digital multimedia transfer rate controlling

摘要

An apparatus that includes a controller to regulate a rate of transfer of MPEG transport stream packets from a first storage device to a second storage device based on transfer rate control information derived from at least some of the MPEG transport stream packets. For example, the transfer rate control information may include time information, and the time information may include program clock references. In some examples, the first storage device can be a hard disk drive or a dynamic random access memory, and the second storage device can be a Blu-ray Disc recorder.
