Abstract:
A disc recorder for recording coded data to be reproduced in real time, on a recordable disc-shaped recording medium, the disc recorder comprising:a peak rate detecting means for obtaining coding rate information of the coded data to thereby detect a maximum coding rate that is a reproduction peak rate of the coded data; a recording start position detecting means for detecting a recording start position of the disc-shaped recording medium; a discontinuous length detecting means which, supposing that the coded data are recorded on the disc-shaped recording medium, detects a length of a discontinuous portion of the coded data that are suppositionlly recorded; a determining means for determining a possibility of continuous reproduction of the coded data that are suppositionlly recorded, based on at least information of the recording start position, the length of the discontinuous portion and the maximum coding rate; and a control means for recording the coded data on the disc-shaped recording medium when it is determined that the coded data that are suppositionlly recorded can be continuously reproduced as the determination result of the determining means and for changing the recording start position when it is determined that the coded data that are suppositionlly recorded can not be continuously reproduced.
