Method for recording video signals by storing digital video data into DCT blocks for a digital VCR

摘要

In a video data recording method for a digital video cassette tape recorder, wherein bit streams of video data are initially stored in video segments having remaining spaces, portions of the bit streams which are not initially stored in the video segments being sequentially stored in a memory as remaining bit streams, the video data recording method includes the steps of first comparing a size of the last remaining space of the video segments with a size of one remaining bit stream, second comparing the size of the last remaining space with a size of a next remaining bit stream based on the first comparison result, repeating the second comparing step until a remaining bit stream having a size which is not larger than the size of the last remaining space of the video segments is found, and storing the remaining bit stream found in the repeating step in the last remaining space of the video segments.
