Abstract
The present invention relates to a recording apparatus for improving operability of a DVD camcorder that performs recording in a video format. When an instruction for starting recording is given at a time T11 and then an instruction for stopping the recording is given at a time T12, a DVD camcorder is brought into a pause state at the time T12. An address and the like of an optical disk at that time are stored in a recording RAM. When an instruction for resuming recording is given at a time T13, the address stored in the recording RAM is read, and rerecording is started at a position on the optical disk which position corresponds to the address. The present invention is applicable to DVD camcorders.
Claims6
A recording apparatus characterized by comprising:
- recording means for recording data from a position continuously succeeding a recorded area on an optical disk;
- first setting means for setting a pause state in response to an instruction for stopping the recording by said recording means;
- storing means for storing stop position information of said optical disk when the pause state is set by said first setting means;
- and
- reading means for reading said stop position information stored by said storing means when an instruction for starting recording by said recording means is given in the pause state;
- wherein said recording means starts recording at a position on said optical disk which position corresponds to said stop position information read by said reading means.
A recording method characterized by comprising:
- a recording step for recording data from a position continuously succeeding a recorded area on an optical disk;
- a setting step for setting a pause state in response to an instruction for stopping the recording by the processing of said recording step;
- a storing step for storing stop position information of said optical disk when the pause state is set by the processing of said setting step;
- and
- a reading step for reading said stop position information stored by the processing of said storing step when an instruction for starting recording by the processing of said recording step is given in the pause state;
- wherein the processing of said recording step starts recording at a position on said optical disk which position corresponds to said stop position information read by the processing of said reading step.
A program executed by a computer, said program characterized by comprising:
- a recording control step for controlling recording of data from a position continuously succeeding a recorded area on an optical disk;
- a setting control step for controlling setting of a pause state in response to an instruction for stopping the recording by the processing of said recording control step;
- a storing control step for controlling storing of stop position information of said optical disk when the pause state is set by the processing of said setting control step;
- and
- a reading control step for controlling reading of said stop position information stored by the processing of said storing control step when an instruction for starting recording by the processing of said recording control step is given in the pause state;
- wherein the processing of said recording control step starts recording at a position on said optical disk which position corresponds to said stop position information read by the processing of said reading control step.
