Abstract
When a played scene of a VCR (sequential access recorder) ( ) is overwritten or added to the play list derived from the cut edit of the video scenes already stored in a disk (random access recorder) ( ) according to the first instruction of a user, a selector ( ) switches the play output of the disk following the play list and said played scene of the VCR to provide it to a monitor ( A) so that the user can confirm the edit result during the recording in real time. If there is the second instruction (VIEW instruction) during the recording, it plays the same edit result of the disk ( ) again based on the renewed temporary play list to provide it to the monitor ( A) without interrupting the recording. On this occasion, it approves the user to change the play speed and stops advancing the play if the user try to play beyond the recorded point. Then, the user can confirm the recorded video portion without waiting the completion of the recording and without interrupting the recording even during the recording from the external VCR.
