A video device having a priority-based recording function and a control method for the same are disclosed in which timer recording is performed based on user preferences. First, recording priority of a specific program for timer or immediate recording is set. When the time to perform the timer or immediate recording is reached, it is determined whether or not at least one program preset for timer recording, which has a higher recording priority than the specific program and which have not yet been recorded, is present. If the at least one program is present, the sum of a memory capacity required for the specific program and a memory capacity required for the at least one program is compared with an available memory capacity of the video device. The specific program is recorded if the sum of the memory capacities is less than or equal to the available memory capacity.
