VIDEO SIGNAL RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS

摘要

A video signal recording apparatus for recording a video signal composed of a plurality of programs and control data on a recording medium, comprises: first time code generating circuit for generating first time code data having a user's bit area in which information data relating to the contents of the program are formed; inserting circuit for inserting the first time code data into predetermined horizontal period in a vertical blanking interval of the video signal; first recording circuit for recording the output signal of the inserting circuit on a video track of the recording medium; second time code generating circuit for generating second time code data having a user's bit area in which stop control data used for controlling the transport of the recording medium are formed; and second recording circuit for recording the second time code data on a longitudinal track of the recording medium such that the stop control data are positioned at a predetermined location of the longitudinal track corresponding to a cue point of the video signal.
