Abstract:
1. A method for recording audio/video information onto a compact disc recorder in real-time, comprising: streaming audio/video information at a constant rate from a source having an output buffer and so as to prevent overflowing of the output buffer, the audio/video information to be recorded onto the compact disc recorder; and receiving the streamed audio/video information at a constant rate into an input buffer, the streamed audio/video information for recording thereof onto the compact disc recorder so as to prevent underflowing of the input buffer; and wherein the audio/video information is streamed from a source to central processing unit (CPU) at a constant rate of X bits per second and wherein the streamed audio/video information is streamed from the CPU to compact disc drive of the compact disc recorder at a constant rate of Y bits per second, wherein X is less than Y; and wherein the rate of streaming of empty sectors is Z bits per second and Y is equal to X+Z.
