Optical recording and reproducing apparatus for making one title automatically after relay recording and method thereof

摘要

Disclosed is an optical recording and reproducing apparatus for making one title automatically after a relay recording and a method thereof. The disclosed method includes the steps of performing a relay recording such that some of audio visual (AV) signals that are not recorded onto an optical disc (150a) are recorded onto a recording medium (160) in case of insufficient optical disc (150a) capacity during recording of the AV signals in a stream type; and combining said some of the AV signals with the rest of the AV signals when the relay recording is terminated and storing the combined AV signals as one title onto the recording medium (160). That is, one title is automatically created onto the recording medium (160) and is subsequently copied onto one or more than one optical disc (150a). Hence, a user can watch images recorded onto the recording medium (160) or the optical disc (150a) and own a plurality of copied optical discs (150a).
