Method for fine recording of video frames

An apparatus for fine recording of video frames at a video joint portion, occurred by a recording stop and start during a recording operation of a video cassette recorder, comprising:

• a code generator for generating a position identification code, said position identification code being increased in serial order;
• an adder for superimposing said generated position identification code into every frame of a video signal;
• a memory for memorizing the position identification code which was superimposed into the last frame recorded on the video tape whenever a temporary recording stop is requested;
• a recording/reproducing unit for recording and reproducing the added video signal;
• a code detector for detecting a superimposed position identification code from a reproduced video signal whenever said temporary recording stop is cancelled;
• a comparator for comparing the detected position identification code from the detector with the memorized position identification code;
• and
• a controller for controlling the video tape to rewind for a predetermined amount whenever the temporary recording stop is requested and controlling the recording/reproducing unit to resume recording of the video signal based on the result of the comparison whenever the temporary recording stop is cancelled.
