Video reproducing apparatus with adjusted media change times
A video reproducing apparatus that stores video programs on multiple removable media, automatically changes the removable media, and supplies requested video programs to multiple terminal devices has a control unit that stores predicted times at which the programs currently being reproduced will require a change of removable media. When a program request is received, the control unit calculates the media change times of the program, and adjusts these times according to the stored predicted times. The adjustments enable all terminals to receive video programs without noise or interruption when the removable media are changed.
