Recording and reproducing apparatus

A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:

• recording means for compressing an amount of information of input image data and for recording, on a recording medium, the compressed image data and error information indicative of presence or absence of any error in the image data;
• reproducing means for reproducing the image data and the error information from the recording medium;
• interpolating means for interpolating the reproduced image data on the basis of the error information reproduced by said reproducing means;
• mode change-over means for changing over a recording mode between a first recording mode in which said recording means forms first image data having a first amount of information per frame by compressing the input image data and records the first image data and the error information and a second recording mode in which said recording means forms second image data having a second amount of information different from the first amount of information per frame by compressing the input image data and records the second image data and the error information;
• and
• control means for controlling and causing, in response to the change-over of the recording mode effected by said mode change-over means, said recording means to record the error information indicative of the presence of any error together with the image data for a predetermined period of time.

A recording apparatus, comprising:

• recording means for recording, on a recording medium, input image data and error information indicative of presence or absence of any error in the image data;
• mode change-over means for changing over a recording mode between a first recording mode in which said recording means records the image data and the error information while transporting the recording medium at a first speed and a second recording mode in which said recording means records the image data and the error information while transporting the recording medium at a second speed different from the first speed;
• and
• control means for controlling and causing, in response to the change-over of the recording mode effected by said mode change-over means, said recording means to record the error information indicative of the presence of any error together with the image data for a predetermined period of time.

A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:

• recording means for recording, on a recording medium, image data and additional information relating to the image data;
• reproducing means for reproducing the image data and the additional information from the recording medium;
• interpolating means for interpolating the reproduced image data on the basis of the additional information reproduced by said reproducing means;
• mode change-over means for changing over a recording mode between a first recording mode in which said recording means records the image data and the additional information while transporting the recording medium at a first speed and a second recording mode in which said recording means records the image data and the additional information while transporting the recording medium at a second speed different from the first speed;
• and
• control means for setting the additional information to a predetermined code in response to the change-over of the recording mode effected by said mode change-over means, and for controlling and causing said recording means to record the additional information set to the predetermined code together with the image data for a predetermined period of time.

A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:

• recording means for recording, on a recording medium, image data and additional information indicative of a state of the image data;
• reproducing means for reproducing the image data and the additional information from the recording medium;
• memory control means for writing the reproduced image data into a memory, said memory control means varying a writing action of said reproducing means on said memory according to the additional information reproduced by said reproducing means;
• mode change-over means for changing over a recording mode of said apparatus between a plurality of recording modes;
• and
• control means for setting the additional information to a predetermined code in response to the change-over of the recording mode effected by said mode change-over means, and for controlling and causing said recording means to record the additional information set to the predetermined code together with the image data for a predetermined period of time.
