A video record medium, such as a record disc, for recording a composite video and audio signal suitable for stop-motion playback, with accompanying audio. Discrete segments of analog audio signal are digitized and compressed in time and recorded on alternate tracks on the disc, and corresponding frames of a video signal are recorded on the tracks located therebetween. During playback of the disc, a selected audio track is scanned initially and the digital audio data recovered therefrom is entered into a memory device, after which the track for recording the corresponding video frame is scanned in a repeated fashion, to produce a stop-motion display of the frame, while the stored audio data is extracted from the memory device and converted back to an analog format, for simultaneous playback at its original speed.
An apparatus for producing a signal used for forming a record disc which stores segments of audio information and corresponding segments of video information, comprising:
An apparatus for reproducing information from a disc which has data recorded thereon of a type which includes a frame of a video signal which is displayed while an audio portion is played, comprising:
A method of producing a signal used for forming a record disc which stores segments of audio information and corresponding segments of video information, comprising the steps of:
