Abstract:
A method for dubbing a recording tape in a video recording and reproducing device, comprising the steps of:reproducing, at a source video recording and reproducing device, data recorded on a source recording tape in response to a dubbing demand from a user; determining whether a recording error portion or a unrecorded data portion exist in the data reproduced from the source recording tape; performing, at the source video recording and reproducing device, error correction with respect to said recording error portion, if it is determined that said recording error portion exists in the data reproduced from the source recording tape; generating, at the source video recording and reproducing device, a non-recording control pulse corresponding to said unrecorded data portion, if it is determined that said unrecorded data portion exists in the data reproduced from the source recording tape; transmitting the reproduced data and said non-recording control pulse from the source video recording and reproducing device to a target video recording and reproducing device; and recording, in a target recording tape, said reproduced data in accordance with said non-recording control pulse, wherein the reproduced data is not recorded during a time interval corresponding to said non-recording control pulse.
