Abstract
An information recording apparatus for continuously recording information without losing any information even if the apparatus temporarily falls into a recording-disable state owing to the shock externally applied, etc. is provided. A disability detector for detecting the recording-disable state is provided in the information recording apparatus, thereby interrupting the recording operation and the reading operation from the buffer memory under the recording-disable state, and making a coding rate reduction controller instruct a coder to temporarily reduce the coding rate of the input information. A remaining capacity detector is provided for monitoring the remaining capacity in the buffer memory and instructing the coder to temporarily reduce the coding rate of the input information when the remaining capacity becomes a predetermined value or less. As a result, the reduction in the remaining capacity of the buffer memory under the recording-disable state is prevented. When the overflow of the buffer memory is detected, the information after the generation of the overflow is controlled to be overwritten on a part of the data already written into the buffer memory. The variation his…
