Recording/reproducing device

Abstract

The conventional video recording device has a problem that when dubbing a program recorded in a recording medium onto another recording medium, other processing cannot be performed (a program being broadcast cannot be recorded) and that it is impossible to accurately calculate the time required for dubbing. Content management information is reproduced from a recording medium (A104) and it is inputted to a control unit (110) via a recording / reproducing unit (A103). By using the content information from the management information extracted by the control unit (110), an image generation unit (108) generates a menu screen and outputs a display processing unit (107). When the content to be dubbed by the user, the content dubbing destination, and the reservation time of the dubbing are inputted via an operation unit (111) to the control unit (110), the input content is held in a schedule management unit (112).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording and reproducing device having a function of duplicating audio / video data and the like recorded on a recording medium to another recording medium. Background technique [0002] In recent years, video recorders having various types of recording and reproducing units have come into widespread use. A video recorder having a hard disk (HDD) and a recording type DVD are representative examples thereof. With such a device, it is possible to record a program on HDD and watch it, and then copy the desired program to DVD (for example, refer to Non-Patent Document 1).

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing video recorder cannot perform other processing in the process of copying the program recorded on the HDD to the DVD.

For example, there is a problem that, after copying starts, when the scheduled recording start time arrives, etc., during copying, the broadcasting program cannot be recorded

In addition, there is still such a problem that even if a timer is used to make a reservation, and thus duplication is performed in the blank time without a video recording reservation, etc., the time required for duplication cannot be accurately calculated, so that the duplication takes an unexpected amount of time. In the case of time, it will prevent the start of the scheduled program recording immediately after it.
