摘要:
A disc recording apparatus which uses a disc recorded with address data beforehand and writes the TOC (information about recorded data) in a predetermined area on the disc. When a predetermined key is operated during recording, an address on the disc corresponding to an operation point of the key is written to the predetermined area as the TOC, generating positional information for data retrieval which substantially has no offset from a marker point on the disc. In reproduction, the TOC is read before starting reproduction, so that a desired marker point can be detected promptly based on the positional information of the TOC data.

An editing apparatus and method for dividing or combining a data file(s) that is segmented into blocks of a predetermined data length and recorded in a non-volatile memory. An attribute file having a predetermined length is modified so as to reflect such dividing or combining. Such attribute file is recorded in the non-volatile memory.

This invention relates to a reproducing apparatus compatible with a storage medium storing copyright-protected and copyright-unprotected files, the reproducing apparatus being capable of reproducing any one of the files stored on the medium, the reproducing apparatus comprising: demodulating means for demodulating any one of the copyright-protected files in one way and any one of the copyright-unprotected files in a different way; selective operation executing means operated to select either any one of the copyright-protected files or any one of the copyright-unprotected files as a file to be reproduced; and controlling means for causing the demodulating means to select one of the two different ways of demodulation depending on whether a copyright-protected file or a copyright-unprotected file has been selected by operation of the selective operation executing means.
摘要:
An editing apparatus wherein the editing of content is controlled according to its supply source. Identification information identifying a content supply source is recorded in a recording medium in correspondence with the content supplied from the content supply source and recorded in the recording medium. When editing of the content is requested by a user, the identification information corresponding to that content is checked. According to the content supply source identified by the identification information, the editing content is enabled or disabled.

摘要:
An apparatus for determining erasability of content data. The apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive content data to be stored in a first storage medium; a comparator configured to compare a remaining storable capacity of the first storage medium with an amount of the received content data; a determining unit configured to determine whether first data already stored in the first storage medium is re-recordable by determining whether a copy of the first data is retrievable from the second storage medium; and a controller configured to control an erase process for the first data according to the comparison made by the comparator and the determination made by the determining unit.

摘要:
A recording apparatus for facilitating data erasure operations involving data recorded on a recording medium. Each piece of data recorded on the recording medium may be examined to determine whether it is rerecordable by determining whether the data is already stored in another storage medium. When data erasure is requested, erasure processing may be controlled in accordance with the result of the determination. For example, original data based on data captured by a microphone or a camera (namely, non-rerecordable data) may not be erased (without specific approval by the user). Conversely, rerecordable data copied from another recording medium such as a CD may be erased.
