Abstract
An improved utilization of the storage space on a helical scan recording and/or reproduction apparatus in particular according to the D6 format. In the case of a data transfer rate in which the apparatus recording rate corresponds to an integer multiple of the data transfer rate of data signals to be recorded, the recording is effected in a manner dependent on the ratio of apparatus recording rate to the data transfer rate by a corresponding first portion of the volume of data being written to first data frames () and, after corresponding rewinding, by the corresponding second portion of the volume of data subsequently being written to second data frames ().
