Abstract
A video-recording apparatus including an I/O unit for both reading and writing data to a recording medium, a tuner for acquiring video data, an input unit for receiving input from a user, and a control unit. The control unit permits the I/O unit to execute user recording when user recording conditions specified through the input unit are satisfied, but unless otherwise the control unit permits the I/O unit to temporarily record the video data obtained by the tuner. Video data obtained by the user recording and that obtained by temporary recording are recorded on the recording medium at the same region of the recording medium.
