Abstract
When a recording instruction is absent, a recording medium drive is not driven. Encoding of a video signal and driving of the drive are both started simultaneously when recording instruction is given. The coded data is sequentially recorded and stored in a memory. When the drive reaches a desirable rotational speed for recording, the stored data are sequentially read and recorded.
