Method for recording and reproducing the table of contents of a magnetic-tape video cassette, and video recorder for carrying out the method

Abstract

Abstract A method is already known in which the positions on the tape of the beginnings of all the recordings on a cassette are buffered and recorded at the start of the tape when the machine is switched off. The new method is intended to provide the means whereby, after the insertion of a video magnetic tape cassette tape into a video recorder, information is available on the contents of the cassette irrespective of the momentary tape position and almost instantaneously. In the new method, the positions of the beginning and end and the titles of all the transmissions recorded on the cassette are recorded at the start of the tape in the video helical tracks and the title of the associated transmission is recorded by pulse-width modulation of the control track pulses.
