Patent ID: 7283723

Claim:
A recorder comprising: an input that receives real time information; a write head that writes information encoded as optically readable marks on a track of a record carrier; a memory that buffers the real time information from reception and at least until it is written by the write head on the track of the record carrier; processing means for subdividing the real time information into units and for determining playback parameters to control the playing of the real time information from the record carrier and for adding the playback parameters into the units, and for controlling the write head for writing the units onto the record carrier, the playback parameters including jump information related to a distance to jump to other recorded information on the record carrier when the real time information is played, wherein: in some cases, the jump information is first jump information that is determined in a first way from other real time information that is contained in other units than the jump information; and in other cases, the jump information is second jump information that is determined in a second way based on a predefined value, the second way being different than the first way of determining jump information.
