Digital video signal recording and/or reproduction.

摘要

When an advanced television (ATV) signal is recorded by a digital VCR (3) in the conventional television signal recording mode, variable speed reproduction data composed of high priority (HP) data containing an in-frame encoded frame (I frame) is redundantly recorded in a surplus record area that is formed by the difference between the transmission rate of the ATV signal and the transmission rate of the conventional compressed digital video signal. When variable speed reproduction is performed, the variable speed reproduction data can be successfully reproduced. <IMAGE>
