Abstract
A program is selected from a plurality of programs in an MPEG transport stream for recording on a record carrier. The presence of a program clock reference (PCR) value in a packet in the stream is detected. The packet identifier for the packet is retrieved and stored. Clock reference signals of subsequent packets with a packet identifier equal to the stored packet identifier, are retrieved. The program clock references are used to synchronize a clock counter. Each recorded packet is time stamped according to the clock counter. If clock reference signal is not received within 100 ms, then a packet with a PCR value with a different packet identifier is retrieved and the stored packet identified is replaced by the different packet identifier.
