Abstract

An apparatus for recording and reproducing an encoded video signal from a source encoder comprises a decoder for performing a decoding process for the encoded video signal to produce a decoded video signal, an encoder block for compressing the decoded video signal using a spatial correlation to produce an intra mode compression signal, a buffer memory for storing the intra mode compression signal, a mode controller for generating a clock pulse used to read out data in the buffer memory in accordance with a longer playing time recording and a normal playing time recording and a recording and reproducing unit for recording and reproducing the intra mode compression signal read from the buffer memory.
