Abstract
A video playing and recording apparatus has a time shift function which allows a television program or other such data to be temporarily recorded in a file of a time shift recording region of a hard disk while the recorded data can be played, When a data recording command is received during a time shift function, the temporary recording of data in file A of the time shift recording region is stopped, and the permanent recording in file B of a permanent recording region is started. At this time, the end address of the data in file A is recorded in file B, and the head address of the data in file B is recorded to file A. The data in file A and file B can be played continuously by using the two addresses recorded in file A or file B.
