Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a CPU. The CPU, when recording a plurality of frames of JPEG data onto a magneto optical disk, calculates a difference between a remainder acquired by dividing a JPEG data size of each frame by a cluster size and the cluster size. The JPEG data is recorded on a data area of the magneto optical disk in a state pad data with a size corresponding to the calculated difference is added to an end. A head address of each frame of the JPEG data coincides with a head address of a cluster. Management information individually managing the JPEG data of each frame is recorded on the data area and an FAT area on the magneto optical disk.
Claims6
An image recording apparatus for recording a plurality of still image signals on a plurality of unit areas which are formed on a recording medium and each of which has a predetermined size, comprising:
- a calculator for calculating as to each of the plurality of still image signals a difference between the predetermined size and a remainder obtained by dividing a signal size by the predetermined size;
- an image recorder for recording the plurality of still image signals on said recording medium in a state a dummy signal whose size is equal to the difference is added to an end of each of the plurality of still image signals;
- and
- a first management information recorder for recording on said recording medium first management information for individually managing the plurality of still image signals.
