Abstract

Abstract A video signal recording method and apparatus by means of which, when a video signal based on a high definition television system is to be converted into a video signal based on a current television system and recorded on record media, such video signals can be recorded so as not to cause a deterioration in picture image quality such as color phase irregularity. According to the video signal recording method, a screen to be displayed in accordance with signals of a high definition television system is divided into a plurality of screens, video signals of each of which are then converted into signals of a current television system. A luminance signal and a chrominance signal of each of the signals of the current television system are time division multiplexed. Signals obtained by such time division multiplexing are recorded onto a plurality of record media with or without a color burst signal added thereto for each line.
