Abstract: A video recording system, and related reproducing system, best suited for use in making and reproducing video disc recordings, wherein each recorded frame of video information represents one or more frames of an original video program, as designated by a frame repeat count encoded with the video information. In the recording system, the video program is preprocessed to designate sets of consecutive frames that will be recorded as a single frame, together with an encoded frame repeat count, and time delay circuits are employed to provide an audio signal for each of the original frames, all of which are recorded with the single video frame. In the reproducing system, the frame repeat counts are decoded, successively counted down, and used to control movement of a reading transducer, either to repeat a frame or to read a next frame from the recording. The frame repeat count is also employed to select an appropriate audio signal for reproduction with each video frame.
