A method for recording a program during pausing and playing back the program utilizing a disk medium, comprising the steps of: upon initiating a pause, recording the program onto a disk medium as a first pattern of recorded segments alternating with a second pattern of unrecorded segments; jumping back to the first recorded segment of the first pattern upon termination of the pause; and, alternately playing back the recorded segments of the first pattern and recording the program onto the unrecorded segments of the second pattern. An apparatus for implementing the method can comprise a controller having: a first mode of operation for recording the first pattern initiated responsive to a command to initiate a pause; a second mode of operation initiated responsive to a command to terminate said pause and jump back; and, a third mode of operation for playing back the first pattern and recording the second pattern. |
