PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a GOP structure is changed when MPEG compressed signals recorded on a recording medium are rewritten and recorded at a halfway point, so that video signals are not reproduced well. SOLUTION: An MPEG encoder 14 controls code volumes of incoming video signals by N frames, and PSI information to be outputted is fixed. A recording/reproducing unit 17 records video signals on a recording medium by the N frames and carries out rewriting. When the rewritten video signals are reproduced, the operation of a decoder is controlled on the basis of information related to the continuity of signals and information indicating breakpoints of GOP. By this setup, images can be prevented from freezing when signals that are recorded as tethered are reproduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
