Abstract
A control means A reads an unrecorded area of a recording medium in advance, and stores the read unrecorded area in a stack of a RAM . The unrecorded area is stored in the stack of the RAM by being pushed onto the bottom of a stack pointer. When new data is recorded on the recording medium , recording is executed in order from the top of the stack pointer. Accordingly, information which continuously progresses in a time series manner can be recorded on the recording medium without lack of the information which continuously progresses, and it is possible to reduce the time required to calculate and display the remaining recording time.
