Recording method and apparatus for continuous playback of fragmented signals

摘要: By reducing the number of seek operations in an operation to play back a signal from recording medium, amount data temporarily stored read buffer memory employed recording/playback apparatus is large enough be output as playback during operation, allowing continuous carried out. In order reduce operations, always recorded onto medium free areas each having size equal or larger than predetermined time length which typically set at 1 minute. If it necessary insert additional smaller into point insertion area already occupied by existing signal, with newly allocated signal. The then instead being inserted insertion.
