Method and system for digitally recording broadcast content

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for digitally recording broadcast content. In one embodiment, the broadcast content is received and a first digital copy of the broadcast content is stored (e.g., on a magnetic storage device). The first digital copy of the broadcast content is formatted to be displayed by a display device (e.g., encoded MPEG format). A second digital copy of the broadcast content is also made and stored on the magnetic storage device. The second digital copy of the broadcast content is formatted to be stored upon an optical media storage device. The second digital copy can be high-speed dubbed from the magnetic storage device to the optical media storage device.
