Abstract:
1. A video signal processing apparatus, comprising: first image processing means for performing first image processing to a video signal; second image processing means for performing second image processing to the video signal, and for generating a signal of a data rate larger than that of the video signal subjected to the first image processing; first recording means for recording the video signal subjected to the image processing on a first recording medium capable of being randomly accessed; second recording means for recording the video signal subjected to the image processing on a second recording medium capable of being linearly accessed or of being randomly accessed at a speed lower than that of the first recording medium; and control means for recording the video signal subjected to the first image processing by said first image processing means on the first recording medium through said first recording means in a first mode, recording the video signal subjected to the second image processing by said second image processing means on the second recording medium through said second recording means in a second mode, and recording the video signal subjected to the second image processing by said second image processing means on the first recording medium through said first recording means in a case where a residual quantity of the second recording medium is smaller than a set value.
