An apparatus for recording an information signal in a track on the record carrier, such as, a helical scan video recorder, includes an input terminal (36) for receiving the information signal, a signal processor (10) for converting the information signal into a form in which it can be recorded on the record carrier (1) and a writing unit (30,32,34) for writing the converted information signal in the track on the record carrier. Further, the apparatus includes a unit for establishing the total length of the record carrier, viewed in time, a unit for establishing the actual position of the writing unit along the record carrier, viewed in time, and a unit (5,6) for transporting the record carrier. For recording an information signal of specific duration (T2), on the record carrier (1), the record carrier is transported to a specific position along the record carrier for which holds that the remaining time for recording, at that specific position, substantially corresponds to the specific duration (T2) of the information signal to be recorded.
