    摘要: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes acquiring, by the computer, position information from encoding on a magnetic medium, calculating, by the computer, an estimated position information of the magnetic medium using a media thickness value, comparing, by the computer, the estimated the estimated position information with the position information acquired from encoding, determining, by the computer, whether an error between the estimated position information and the acquired position information is within a specified range. In response to the determining that the error is within the specified range, the media thickness value is stored by the computer to a memory. In response to the determining that the error is outside the specified range, the media thickness value is changed by the computer to make the estimated position information fall within the specified range.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a signal processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program enabling accurate calculation of a remaining amount of a tape. In a cassette shell 1, a memory 13 for storing information indicative of a total length of a magnetic tape 11 is incorporated. A remaining-tape-amount calculation apparatus 22 calculates a length of the tape as an amount of being wound around a reel 12-1 and a reel 12-2 on an assumption of a thickness of the tape being constant, and, for example, corrects a calculated tape length of the tape being retained wound around the reel 12-1 using a ratio of the total length of the magnetic tape 11, read out from the memory, to a sum of the calculated tape length of the tape being retained wound around the reel 12-1 and the tape length of the tape being put on wound around the reel 12-2 to calculate a remaining amount of the magnetic tape 11, which is recordable or reproducible. Incidentally, it is possible to apply the present invention to a VTR.

    摘要: A signal is recorded on and reproduced from a first tape-like storage medium. At least one indexing signal is recorded on the first storage medium. Or, at least one indexing signal already recorded on the first storage medium is detected. The location of the indexing signal is determined as an indexing position. The signal that has been recorded on the first storage medium is recorded on a randomly accessible second storage medium from the indexing position for a specific period.
