VIDEO RECORDER, METHOD FOR DETECTING COMMERCIAL MESSAGE TO BE USED FOR THIS AND MEDIUM WITH THIS DETECTING PROCESSING STORED THEREIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect information showing to be CM(commercial message) of an analog signal to be broadcasted, to discriminate the kind of CM by information constituted to be the layer of CM to delete or select the CM and record it with digital signals. SOLUTION: Being the CM of the analog signal is detected by an NTSC decoder 2 by a flag showing CM inserted into the 20-bit information of the 20-th line in a vertical blanking period. Thus, the operation of the MPEG encoder 4 is stopped and compressing processing to digital signals is not performed until the finish of the CM. With the detection of the finish of the CM, conversion to the digital signal of the compressing processing of a normal MPEG 2 form is restarted. The digital signal converted after removing the CM or the digital signal including the CM, which is selected from the kind information of the CM constituted to be the layer of the flag and converted are recorded in a recording medium 6.
