Abstract:
1. An apparatus for recording a substantially real time stream of digital video on a record carrier, the stream of digital video is arranged in a sequence of video frames in separate, consecutive data blocks transmitted in data packets, the data blocks comprising headers, the record carrier having units of recording of a predetermined size larger than a size of the data packets, the apparatus comprising: a receiver for receiving the stream of the digital video; a processor for processing the stream of digital video to obtain logical units of recordable information that maintains an order of said data blocks in each video frame, the data blocks are positioned within a corresponding logical unit at a predetermined position with respect to a first data block in the logical unit; a writer for writing the recordable information into the units of recording on the record carrier, wherein the processor is adapted to detect the data blocks in the data packets, separate the data blocks from the data packets, and using first information comprised in the data blocks headers to allocate consecutive data blocks of the data packets to consecutive logical units of recordable information, a size of each logical unit of recordable information corresponding to the predetermined size of the unit of recording.
