  • Publication number: 20090154551
    Abstract: An apparatus for recording/reproducing a moving picture, and a recording medium thereof, are provided. The apparatus for recording a moving picture includes a recorder which records moving picture data sequentially outputted from an image pickup device in a frame unit as raw image data to a recording medium, and a compression processor, which generates compressed image data by compressing the moving picture data, wherein the recorder records the moving picture data by corresponding the raw image data to the compressed image data in the frame unit. Accordingly, the raw image data outputted from the image pickup device is recorded while the raw image data is easily handled.

  • Publication number: 20080226261
    Abstract: Audio signals and video signals are recorded as follows. Three video PES packets, each being formed of one video frame, are combined to form a video editing unit. Then, the video editing unit and the associated audio editing unit are alternately disposed on a magnetic tape. The recorded PES packets are output as a TS as follows. A STC is initialized, and then, PSI packets of a PAT and a PMT are output. TS packets specially used for a PCR for storing the STC are then output at certain intervals. Subsequently, video PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the video TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting vbv_delay from the first I-picture DTS with the STC. Audio PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the audio TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting the start up delay from the first frame with the STC. Data streams are recorded in the following manner.

  • Patent number: 7062154
    Abstract: A magnetic-tape recording apparatus for recording digital data on a magnetic tape by a rotating head includes a first obtaining unit for obtaining first-group data, including video data, audio data, or search data. A second obtaining unit obtains second-group data, including sub-code data related to the first-group data. A synthesizing unit synthesizes the first-group data and the second-group data such that they are continuous without any space disposed therebetween, on each of two sub-tracks formed with a gap sandwiched therebetween on a track in the magnetic tape. A sending unit sends data synthesized by the synthesizing unit to the rotating head in order to record the data on the magnetic tape.
