Abstract:
A digital video signal recording/reproducing apparatus for recording a digital video signal to a record medium and reproducing a digital video signal from a record medium, comprising:a first encoder for performing a compressing process for an input digital video signal; a second encoder for performing an error correction code encoding process for a compressed signal received from said first encoder; recording means for recording an output signal of said second encoder to a record medium; reproducing means for reproducing a signal from a record medium; a second decoder for performing an error correction code decoding process for a signal received from said reproducing means; a first decoder for performing a decompressing process for an output signal of said second decoder; and switching means, disposed in the preceding stage of said first encoder, for switching between a reproduced digital video signal that has been decompressed by said first decoder and the input digital video signal at the end of each field in a frame.
