Abstract
In a video record/playback apparatus, interrupting a dubbing process that records video data recorded on one recording medium onto another recording medium in a case in which there is a request during the dubbing process to execute a priority process of higher priority than a dubbing process. In addition, at this time, interrupted dubbing information needed to resume the dubbing process is stored. After the dubbing process is interrupted, the user is asked whether or not to resume the dubbing process, and, in a case in which there is an instruction from the user to resume the dubbing process, resuming the dubbing process using the interrupted dubbing information.
Claims12
A video record/playback apparatus capable of a dubbing process that records video data recorded on a first recording medium to a second recording medium, comprising:
- interrupting unit adapted to interrupt the dubbing process as well as store interrupted dubbing information necessary to resume the dubbing process in a case in which there is a request during the dubbing process to execute a priority process of higher priority than the dubbing process;
- asking unit adapted to ask a user whether or not to resume the dubbing process after the dubbing process is interrupted;
- and
- resuming unit adapted to resume the dubbing process using the interrupted dubbing information in a case in which there is an instruction to resume the dubbing process from the user.
A control method for a video record/playback apparatus capable of a dubbing process that records video data recorded on a first recording medium to a second recording medium, the control method comprising:
- a step of interrupting the dubbing process as well as storing interrupted dubbing information necessary to resume the dubbing process in a case in which there is a request during the dubbing process to execute a priority process of higher priority than the dubbing process;
- a display step of displaying on a display device a screen for asking a user whether or not to resume the dubbing process after the dubbing process is interrupted;
- and
- a step of resuming the dubbing process using the interrupted dubbing information in a case in which there is an instruction to resume the dubbing process from the user via the screen.
A video record/playback apparatus comprising:
- recording unit adapted to record on and playing back video data from a first recording medium and a second recording medium;
- executing unit adapted to execute a dubbing process that records video data recorded on the first recording medium to the second recording medium;
- stopping unit adapted to stop the dubbing process in a case in which a request is made during the dubbing process to record video data to either the first recording medium or the second recording medium and generate interrupted dubbing information relating to video data to be recorded on the second recording medium by the dubbing process;
- asking unit adapted to ask a user whether or not to resume the dubbing process after the dubbing process is stopped;
- and
- resuming unit adapted to resume the stopped dubbing process using the interrupted dubbing information in a case in which there is an instruction to resume the dubbing process in response to the asking.
A control method for a video record/playback apparatus having recording means for recording on and playing back video data from a first recording medium and a second recording medium, the control method comprising:
- a step of executing a dubbing process that records video data recorded on the first recording medium to the second recording medium;
- a step of stopping the dubbing process in a case in which a request is made during the dubbing process to record video data to either the first recording medium or the second recording medium and generating interrupted dubbing information relating to video data to be recorded on the second recording medium by the dubbing process for storage in a storage means;
- a step of asking a user whether or not to resume the dubbing process after the dubbing process is stopped;
- and
- a step of resuming the stopped dubbing process using the interrupted dubbing information in a case in which there is an instruction to resume the dubbing process in response to the asking.
