Recording apparatus, visible image forming method, recording medium and computer data signal

摘要

A recoding apparatus includes an optical recording device that optically records information on an optical disk and an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a thermosensitive medium provided on the optical disk. When a moving image of a TV broadcast program is recorded on the optical disk by the optical recording device, it is possible to obtain information of TV broadcast such as a TV broadcast itself, an electronic program guide and the like, information held by the present recording apparatus or information relating to the program recorded by the optical recording device from information recorded on the optical disk. Then, the obtained information is image-formed on the thermosensitive medium provided on the optical disk by the image forming device.
