Claim:
A method of recording information signals on an information-signal recording medium, the method comprising the steps of: temporarily storing “n” information signals inputted at “n” transfer rates respectively; reading out the temporarily-stored “n” information signals on a time sharing basis; recording via a recording device the read-out “n” information signals on the information-signal recording medium respectively on a time sharing basis at a transfer rate higher than the “n” transfer rates, the recording device being movable relative to the information-signal recording medium; and deciding amounts of the “n” information signals recorded on the information-signal recording medium on the basis of (1) a time taken by the recording device to move from a point on the information-signal recording medium to a next point thereon, (2) the “n” transfer rates, and (3) the transfer rate higher than the “n” transfer rates; wherein “n” denotes a positive natural number.
