An method for simultaneously writing a data stream onto a recording medium with a low writing and reading rate such as an optical disk and outputting a data stream stored on the recording medium. In the method, an inputted data stream is retained by the first buffer. The stream held in the first buffer is written on the recording medium. The stream recorded on the recording medium is read onto the second buffer to output the stream to an external device. The writing and the reading are controlled based on the duration to consume the stream held on the second buffer, so that the writing and reading are real-time.
