Abstract
A recording and reproducing apparatus is constructed so that a bit rate at which video-audio data of timer reservation recording is recorded on a record medium is calculated based on a residual capacity of a record area of the record medium before the timer reservation recording and a residual capacity of the record area of the record medium after the timer reservation recording specified and the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording is recorded on the record medium based on the bit rate calculated.
Claims5
A recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing video-audio data on a record medium, comprising:
- residual capacity specification means for specifying a residual capacity of a record area of the record medium after timer reservation recording;
- recording time calculation means for calculating recording time of the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording;
- residual capacity calculation means for calculating a residual capacity of the record area of the record medium before the timer reservation recording;
- bit rate calculation means for calculating a bit rate at which the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording of the recording time calculated by the recording time calculation means is recorded on the record medium based on the residual capacity of the record area of the record medium before the timer reservation recording calculated by the residual capacity calculation means and the residual capacity of the record area of the record medium after the timer reservation recording specified by the residual capacity specification means;
- and
- recording means for recording the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording on the record medium at the bit rate calculated by the bit rate calculation means when the bit rate calculated by the bit rate calculation means is a bit rate within a variable range and recording the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording on the record medium at a minimum bit rate when the bit rate calculated by the bit rate calculation means is the minimum bit rate or less.

- and
- recording means for recording the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording on the record medium based on the bit rate calculated by the bit rate calculation means.
A recording method of a recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing video-audio data on a record medium, comprising the steps of:
- calculating recording time of the video-audio data of timer reservation recording;
- calculating a residual capacity of the record area of the record medium before the timer reservation recording;
- calculating a bit rate at which the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording of the recording time calculated is recorded on the record medium based on the residual capacity of the record area of the record mediumbefore the timer reservation recording calculated and the residual capacity of the record area of the record medium after the timer reservation recording specified;
- recording the video-audio data of the timer reservation recording on the record medium at the bit rate calculated when the bit rate calculated is a bit rate within a variable range or at a minimum bit rate when the bit rate calculated is the minimum bit rate or less.
