Abstract
An automatic update is performed by an archiving device that controls the device carrying the sequentially accessible recording medium. The update can be performed according to a full scan algorithm or to an append algorithm. Both algorithms arrange things so that only those scenes are captured to the archiving medium that are more recent than the last scene captured in a previous session. The reference for the age is the Recording Date and Time. The full scan algorithm does not make assumptions about how a recording medium has been recorded, whereas the append algorithm is intended for recording media used by appending new material after old material. The method of capturing scenes is especially useful for a disk recorder. The data captured may be an audio/video-stream of a camcorder or the files of a personal computer.
