<p>A device for recording digitally encoded video information records video packets and characteristic point information for controlling the playback of the packets. The device has an error detection unit (32) for detecting recording errors, and the size of a missing part of the real-time information due to a detected error. The characteristic point information can be used for detecting errors by verifying the accessibility of the video packets. An exit point before the detected error and an entry point after the detected error are determined, such that the video information up to the exit point and starting at the entry point constitute decodable streams of packets. Further the device has a recalculating unit (31) for recalculating, in the event of a detected recording error, the characteristic point information (CPI) by skipping packets between the exit point and the entry point.</p> |
