Video data recording and reproducing apparatus including a plurality of recording media having different capacities
A digital data recording and reproducing apparatus includes a first recording medium having a first recording capacity, and a second recording medium having a second recording capacity greater than the first recording capacity. An input digital video signal is recorded on the first recording medium as an inward-flow signal. The inward-flow signal is transferred from the first recording medium to the second recording medium each time an amount of the inward-flow signal on the first recording medium reaches a first predetermined amount. The digital video signal is transferred from the second recording medium to the first recording medium as an outward-flow signal. The outward-flow signal is read out from the first recording medium as an output digital video signal. During a search, the outward-flow signal is read out from the first recording medium. During the search, monitoring is made regarding an amount of the outward-flow signal on the first recording medium which has not yet been read out. During the search, the digital video signal is transferred from the second recording medium to the first recording medium when the monitored amount decreases to a second predetermined amount.
