Transferring multiple records including video data
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving from the host a video special mode for reading video data, and sequentially reading the records included in data sets from the tape medium into segments of a buffer. When there is a C2 error during reading of the data sets, a predetermined error recovery process is skipped in accordance with the video special mode. When management information (DSIT) for the data set having the C2 error is available for reading, sending of the record(s) included in the data set having the C2 error to the host is skipped. For the data set having the C2 error, the number of records to be skipped included in the data set having the C2 error based on and from the DSIT is obtained and indicated to the host.
