Abstract
A dubbing apparatus to dub data managed per program like audio data such as a piece of music is provided. In the dubbing apparatus, for passing output data read from a CD through a CD drive for compression of the data and transferring the compressed data for recording to an HD drive, an HD TOC being breakpoint information is generated based on specified information indicative of a track break of output data read from the HD drive. The HD drive generates a FAT based on the HD TOC. In the HD drive, the dubbed data can be managed per track accurately and properly without having to monitor any information indicative of each track break such as sub Q data synchronously with a stream of dubbing data.
Claims6
A dubbing apparatus comprising:
- a source output unit to output data by a succession of program units;
- a compressing means for receiving output data from the source output unit and compressing the data to generate compressed dubbing data;
- means for generating breakpoint information indicative of a per-program breakpoint of the compressed dubbing data based on specified information indicating a per-program breakpoint of the output data from the source output unit;
- a first recording unit for receiving the compressed dubbing data and recording the data to a predetermined first recording medium;
- and
- a first management information generating means for first management information for managing the operation of read/write from/to the first recording medium in such a manner that the data recorded in the first recording unit are managed per program based on the breakpoint information.
