  • Process and device for managing the memory space of a hard disk, in particular for a receiver of satellite digital television signals
    Patent number: 7280745
    Abstract: Several audio/video streams are recorded in an interleaved manner on logical tracks of variable sizes. These audio/video streams are selected on the basis of an allocation table contained in a random access memory, and which describes the state of occupancy of the logical tracks. The logical tracks include elementary storage portions formed of integer numbers of sectors of the disk. A chaining of the various portions is performed during recording using the index numbers of the preceding and succeeding portions, as well as indications of unknown relationships which will be updated subsequently.
