Abstract:
A method of recording a later-recorded an information signal representing at least one later-recorded information unit on a record carrier, said record carrier having a recording track which comprises preformed track position information indicative of predefined locations for consecutively recording the later-recorded information units, and a first one of said locations comprising an earlier recorded information signal, said method comprising:(a) generating from the later-recorded information signal a modulated signal having successive frames, each frame including a synchronizing signal; (b) scanning said recording track and recording the modulated signal at a second one of said locations, while controlling such recording so as to maintain a fixed relationship between the track position information and the synchronizing signals; and (c) wherein, in the event that the second one of said locations is after and adjacent to the first one of said locations, the recording of the later-recorded information signal is started before the end of a last frame of the earlier recorded information signal at a first predefined distance before a first synchronizing signal of the modulated signal, and wherein said later-recorded information signal consists of signal data which is not a synchronizing signal.
