Abstract:
A method for fine recording of video frames at a video joint portion, controlled by a recording stop and start during a recording operation of a video cassette recorder, comprising the steps of:generating a position identification code for every frame of a video signal being received the position identification code being changed in a serial order along with the frame of the video signal; superimposing the generated position identification code into every frame of the video signal; recording the superimposed video signal on a video tape when a temporary recording stop is requested; memorizing the position identification code which was superimposed into the last frame recorded on the video tape and rewinding the video tape for a predetermined amount whenever a recording stop is requested; reproducing a recorded video signal whenever a recording start is requested; detecting the superimposed position identification code from the reproduced video signal; comparing the detected position identification code with the position identification code of the last frame memorized at the memorizing step; and stopping the reproduction of the video signal and restarting to record according to the result of the comparing step.
