Abstract: A video signal recording apparatus with a video and audio memorizing section for temporarily memorizing an inputted video audio signal, a time code generating section for generating a time-code of said video audio signal an auxiliary information memorizing section for temporarily memorizing auxiliary information appended to said video audio signal including said time code generating a regeneration value obtained from a time code to which one frame time is added to said recorded time code when a recording starts and correcting said regeneration value for an amount of delay corresponding to a storage volume temporarily memorized in said auxiliary information (time code, metadata, CUE audio signal, and the like) memorizing section and thus obtaining a corrected time code, and thereafter sequential time codes are generated from said corrected time code though said time code generating section.

Abstract: An inputted video audio signal is temporarily memorized in a video and audio memorizing section 310. Auxiliary information appended to the video audio signal is temporarily memorized in an auxiliary information memorizing section 320. A memory control device 620 controls write and read operations of the video audio signal with respect to the video and audio memorizing section 310 and write and read operations of the auxiliary information with respect to the auxiliary information memorizing section 320. The video audio signal read from the video and audio memorizing section 310 and the auxiliary information read from the auxiliary information memorizing section 320 are sequentially recorded on a recording medium 500 by a recording device 400.
