Apparatus and method for recording a digital information signal in slant tracks on a record carrier

摘要

A signal processing technique for generating and processing trick play information for recording on a record carrier is used in an apparatus for recording a digital information signal onto a record carrier, in which the apparatus includes a first error correction encoder for error correcting trick play sync blocks generated from the digital information signal, a second error correction encoder for error correcting sync blocks formed from sync blocks of the digital information signal and the error corrected trick play sync blocks, and a third error correction encoder for error correcting each of the error corrected sync blocks. In the technique, the order that the trick play sync blocks provided by the first error correction encoder to the second error correction encoder is not the same as the order in which the third error correction encoder supplies the trick play sync blocks to the writing heads.
