Embodiment Construction

[0042] The present invention generally relates to the recording of received media data streams. This data is often broadcast on different channels. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, these broadcasts include broadcasts of television programs on television channels, which may be standard airborne channels, or satellite or cable or Internet television channels. Alternatively, it is also possible that the broadcast channel is a different type of radio channel, such as a network radio channel or a radio channel sent via air, satellite or cable. The broadcast information is thus media data in the form of programs, such as television or radio programs, as well as individual segments of video programs or musical segments. The recorder according to the invention is thus described as a digital versatile disc (DVD) type optical disc recorder, but it could also be other types of recorders like hard disk recorders or other types of recorders that only record sound. It further c...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method and device (10) for recording sets of data on a data carrier (20). The device includes a recorder (16), a storage medium controller (18) receiving the data carrier, a control unit (22) and program timers (24, 26, 28) having program information regarding sets including the length of time for each set when played. The control unit (22) reads program information regarding sets to be recorded in a timed recording sequence, calculates the recording length of all sets, determines the available recording space on the data carrier for all unrecorded sets of the sequence, sets the recording quality for all sets of unrecorded data in the sequence such that all sets fit to the available space, orders recording of a set with the set recording quality, and repeats the steps of determining, setting and ordering to record for each set of unrecorded data, until all sets have been recorded.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to recording sets of data on a data carrier, such as recording a television program, and in particular to providing a method and apparatus for recording sets of data on a data carrier. Background technique [0002] Currently, programs in video and audio formats are broadcast in a variety of ways. Suffice it to mention the Internet and radio here. The recording of data on different types of data carriers has also been known for a long time. [0003] When recording data, it is now common practice to encode digital data using different encoding algorithms. One type of encoding is the MPEG standard, often used as MPEG1 or MPEG2. It is possible in these standards to change the recording quality by changing the bit rate of the recorded data, which is often used to fit a set of data to be recorded to the recording medium. Due to the encoding algorithm used, it is difficult to determine the actual occupied space in a...
