Description

  The technical field relates to a video recording / reproducing apparatus that records or reproduces video, and particularly relates to a function of dubbing data between recording media.

  As background art of this technical field, there are Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example.

Patent Document 1 describes that “a recording medium on which imaging data is recorded can be easily created” as a problem, and “a digital video camera 11 has a camera-side connector 16 on a side surface 12 a of a housing 12 as a solution. The recording device 20 is provided with a recess and records the image data on the hard disk device .... The recording device 20 is a connector 21 provided on the side surface, which enables direct connection to the digital video camera 11 and captures the image data of the selected image. d) ”(see summary).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-26853 discloses a problem that “When reading video data of a large size in a storage device and writing it to a recording medium with a small remaining capacity, if the size of the original data is larger than the remaining capacity of the recording medium of the writing destination, The size of the video data is automatically divided so that it can be written so as to fit in the capacity. ”Is described, and as a solving means,“ copying large-size data of the HDD 16 to the DVD 18 compared to the remaining capacity of the DVD 18 ” In this case, the remaining capacity is detected from the DVD 18 in which the remaining capacity is recorded, and the copy source data is divided into sizes that fit in the remaining capacity of the DVD 18 and copied to the DVD 18. At this time, the copy source data of the HDD 16 is divided. Each time copying is performed, division information indicating that copying has been completed is created as a correspondence table in association with the copy source data. When copying, when copying a data portion following the last division copy to another recording medium, has been described as the source data is divided to copy. "From the position of the previous division information (see abstract). Furthermore, in the 0035 paragraph, “In FIG.
When the copy button of the remote controller (not shown) is operated with the VD side selected as the copy destination, the CPU 11 first reads the remaining capacity information held by the DVD 18 (step S1), and the data amount on the copy source HDD side And the remaining capacity on the copy destination DVD side are compared (step S2). If the continuous data amount on the HDD side is smaller than the remaining capacity on the DVD side, H
All the continuous data on the DD side is copied to the DVD 18 (step S5). ”

  Recently, a DVD camera equipped with an optical disk such as a DVD as a video recording medium has appeared, and it has good searchability for recorded scenes by random access, and records it in an unrecorded area even if it is not recorded. It has been expanding into the market due to its ease of use, such as being able to prevent overwriting.

  On the other hand, as the recording capacity of small hard disk devices has increased, hard disk cameras mounted on cameras as video recording media have also appeared. Here, since the hard disk device is expensive, the hard disk device is generally built in the camera.

In such a hard disk camera, the built-in hard disk device is not so large due to its small size, and if the entire capacity is recorded, it becomes impossible to record thereafter, so it is necessary to erase the recorded scene, Some scenes recorded with the camera are never available, such as a record of my child's growth. For this reason, scene data in the hard disk device is erased after dubbing the scene data of the hard disk camera to a DVD or the like by connecting an external device (DVD recorder, PC, etc.). In addition, the hard disk camera can only be played back on the recorded camera in order to check the recorded image, so if you want to watch it on your home TV or if you want to show it to someone at a distance, you can dub to a DVD. Is called. However, when an external device is used, the operability is inferior for a housewife who is not familiar with cable wiring. Also, for example, it is not possible to enjoy or pass the video taken when returning to the countryside without a cable on the TV screen with grandparents.

  When dubbing to an external device, data for all scenes recorded on the hard disk device is dubbed to a DVD. However, in the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is not known what scene is recorded on one DVD.

However, there is a request to know the scenes recorded for each DVD. For example, because all scenes are dubbed to a DVD, depending on the combination of scenes (for example, all 10 shots taken in the morning part of the athletic meet) In addition to the scene, when 11 scenes including only one of the 8 scenes taken in the afternoon part of the athletic meet are dubbed), there is a demand for editing, for example, without dubbing as it is. In this regard, the prior art does not consider automatically displaying scenes that can be dubbed on one DVD, so how many scenes will be recorded on one DVD before dubbing is started. Since the user cannot easily recognize this, there is a problem that usability is poor.

  Also, as in Patent Document 2, if it is arbitrarily divided in the middle of the scene, data divided at a position unintended for the user (for example, between the start and goal of the athletic meet) will be dubbed to another DVD. The problem of being done arises. In particular, in the case of a camera, there are many scenes that have a relatively short time compared to a broadcast program. For such a short scene, it is more advantageous for the user to group the scenes than to divide them.

  In addition, there are various restrictions on dubbing to different media, and there is a problem that the user cannot know in advance whether dubbing can be performed or not, and the usability is poor.

  Therefore, for example, when a second medium (dubbing to an optical disk) is performed from a first medium (for example, a hard disk), information that can be recorded on one second medium is selected and displayed before dubbing.

  Also, for example, whether or not dubbing is possible is displayed according to the medium to be dubbed or according to the combination of information to be dubbed.

According to the above means, for example, since the user can recognize what information is to be dubbed or can be dubbed, the user can simply and safely perform dubbing.

  Problems, means, and effects other than those described above will be clarified by examples described later.

  An example of an embodiment suitable for carrying out the present invention will be described. Description will be made using a digital video camera (hereinafter also simply referred to as a video camera) incorporating a hard disk drive (hereinafter abbreviated as HDD) and a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) drive as a video recording apparatus.

In the present invention, each scene is often shorter than that of a broadcast program, etc. by repeatedly shooting and stopping shooting, and is often stored in the shooting order unlike a broadcast program (broadcast program). (In contrast to recording order, for example, it is often recorded in the same drama, etc.) On the other hand, housewives often shoot children and require simple operability. This is particularly effective for a video camera that is difficult to play, and that a photographed image is easily played back by a player. However, it is also effective for other products such as a stationary DVD recorder.

Moreover, it is not limited to DVD, for example, BD (Blu-ray Disc) and HD (High Definition)
-It may be another optical disk such as a DVD. Further, the present invention is not limited to the combination of the HDD and the optical disk, and may be a combination of the HDD and the semiconductor memory, or the optical disk and the semiconductor memory, for example.

  Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1) Configuration Overview FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a video camera.

In the imaging unit 11 that captures an image, the zoom and iris of the lens are controlled by the system control unit 19, and the captured image is captured by an imaging device (CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) sensor or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor). It is converted into an electric signal, and after noise removal and signal amplification are performed, it is converted into a digital signal.

The digital signal output from the imaging unit 11 is subjected to various signal processing such as noise removal in the video processing unit 12 to become a digital video signal. The digital video signal output from the video processing unit 12 is superposed with character information and the like by the video screen creation unit 13 to generate an LCD (Liquid Crystal).
Display) and EVF (Electric View Finder), etc., are sent to the video display unit 18 to display the video being shot. Note that the video display unit 18 may be a display other than the LCD, such as an ELD (Electro Luminescence Display). In addition, the LCD and EVF of the video display unit 18 may be distinguished as a side display unit and a viewfinder unit, respectively.

The digital video signal output from the video processing unit 12 is also sent to the encoding / decoding processing unit 14, and in the case of a moving image, the digital video signal is compressed and encoded by the MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2) system. Thereafter, recording is performed in the HDD 15 as the first recording unit or the DVD drive 16 as the second recording unit in accordance with the selected mode.

On the other hand, in the case of a still image, it is compressed by the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) method and recorded on the memory card 17. As described above, the HDD 15 and the DVD drive 16 are provided as recording units capable of recording moving images. In this embodiment, the HDD 15 is 1 inch, the recording capacity is 8 GB, and the DVD drive 16 can drive an 8 cm DVD. The recording capacity of 8cm DVD is DVD-RAM (Random Access).
In the case of (Memory), it is about 1.4 GB in one layer.

  The entire video camera is controlled by the system control unit 19, and various operations and information input from the user are performed by the operation unit 20. An arrangement example of the operation unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 21 shows an example of the appearance of a video camera. FIG. 21A is a lateral front view, and FIG. 21B is a rear perspective view.

  A power / mode switching switch 2701 for turning on / off the power and switching the mode is arranged at the rear part (photographer side) of the video camera, and a position where the video camera can be operated with a thumb when the video camera is held by hand through the belt 2702. It is arranged in.

Further, on the left side portion, there are an LCD portion (side surface display portion) 2703 housing an LCD as the video display portion 18 and an LCD fulcrum portion 2704. The LCD fulcrum portion 2703 opens and closes and rotates the LCD portion 2703, and the LCD display portion is It can also be directed to the outside (in FIG. 21A, the direction turned upside down on the paper surface). Further, a dubbing button 2705 (201 in FIG. 1) for starting dubbing to the DVD inserted into the DVD drive 16 from the HDD 15 with one touch, a disc navigation button 2706 for displaying a navigation screen, and a cursor button 2707 are arranged.

  In a state where the LCD unit 2703 is opened and the LCD display unit is directed outward, the dubbing button 2705, the disc navigation button 2706, and the cursor button 2707 are on the same side as the screen, which is convenient when performing a dubbing operation.

(2) Outline of Operation An outline of an operation when dubbing from the HDD 15 to a DVD mounted on the DVD drive 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 21. FIG.

  When the power on / HDD mode is set by the operation from the operation unit 20 and the disc navigation button (2706 in FIG. 21) is further pressed, the screen information generation unit 192 reads out the thumbnail image information of each scene stored in the HDD 15 and displays a thumbnail list screen. Information is generated and sent to the video screen generator 13. The video screen generation unit 13 generates a thumbnail list screen (navigation screen) based on the thumbnail list screen information and displays it on the LCD of the video display unit 18.

  In this state, when the user presses the dubbing button 201 of the operation unit 20, the system control unit 19 detects that the dubbing button 201 has been pressed, and all the scenes recorded on the HDD 15 are mounted on the DVD drive 16. The full selection dubbing process for dubbing to the current DVD is started.

  The system control unit 19 checks whether the information of the DVD mounted in the HDD 15 or the DVD drive 16 can be obtained and recorded, and whether the video camera is in a dubbing state such as the operating state (for details, see the dubbing in FIG. 4). It will be described later in the advance check process).

Thereafter, the selected scene is selected so as to select a scene that can be recorded on the mounted DVD from information such as the number of scenes and the amount of data recorded on the HDD 15 and the remaining recording capacity of the DVD mounted on the DVD drive 16. Calculation is performed by the calculation unit 191 (details will be described later in dubbing scene automatic selection in FIG. 5). The selected scene calculation unit 191 selects, in order from the first scene recorded in the HDD 15, scenes having a data amount equal to or less than the remaining capacity of the mounted DVD and selects them as dubbing target scenes.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of data selection of the target scene according to this embodiment. An example of selection of target scene data by the selected scene calculation unit 191 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the remaining capacity of the DVD is 1.4 GB, the data amount of scene A recorded on the HDD 15 is 0.5 GB, the data amount of scene B is 0.2 GB, the data amount of scene C is 0.5 GB, The case where the data amount of scenes D, E, F, and G is 0.3 GB will be described.

When the dubbing button 201 is pressed, the scene data to be dubbed on the attached DVD 1 is selected from the head scene A of the data recorded on the HDD within a range not exceeding the remaining capacity of the DVD 1. Here, the total capacity of scenes A, B, and C is 1.2 GB, which is 1 for a DVD
. Although the total capacity of scenes A, B, C, and D is 1.5 GB, which exceeds 1.4 GB of DVD, scenes A, B, and C are selected as the dubbing targets for DVD1.

  When dubbing to the DVD 1 is completed and the next DVD 2 is inserted, the selection is made within a range not exceeding the remaining capacity of the DVD 2 from the scene D which is the head of the data of the undubbed scene. Since the total capacity of the remaining scenes D, E, F, and G is 1.2 GB and 1.4 GB or less of the DVD, scenes D, E, F, and G are selected as the dubbing targets for DVD2.

When the selection scene calculation unit 191 selects a dubbing target scene, the screen information generation unit 192 reads out thumbnail image information corresponding to the dubbing target scene in the HDD 15, a display for confirming the execution of the dubbing operation, and the dubbing target scene The dubbing confirmation screen information synthesized with the thumbnail images is generated and sent to the video screen generation unit 13. The video screen generation unit 13 generates a dubbing confirmation screen based on the dubbing confirmation screen information and displays it on the video display unit 18 (step 309 in FIG. 3).

  Thereafter, when it is decided to continue the dubbing operation, the data of the selected scene is read from the HDD 15 and the operation of dubbing to the DVD attached to the DVD drive 16 is started. When all scenes recorded in the HDD 15 are dubbed, the screen information generation unit 192 generates dubbed scene deletion confirmation screen information and confirms the dubbed scene deletion confirmation to the video display unit 18 via the video screen generation unit 13. A screen is displayed (step 324 in FIG. 3).

  When the deletion is executed on the dubbed scene deletion confirmation screen, the dubbed scene data is deleted from the HDD 15, the all selection dubbing process is terminated, and the original navigation screen is restored.

  In addition, after dubbing the selected dubbing target scene on the first DVD, if there is an undubbed scene that remains without being dubbed in addition to the dubbing target scene, the screen information generation unit 192 displays two images. In order to continue dubbing to the second DVD, dubbing continuation confirmation screen information for requesting a DVD exchange is generated, and a dubbing continuation confirmation screen is displayed on the video display unit 18 via the video screen generation unit 13 (step 319 in FIG. 3). ).

  When the user replaces the DVD, the system control unit 19 checks whether the video camera is ready for dubbing as in the case of the first DVD, and the selected scene calculation unit 191 again replaces the DVD. A dubbing confirmation screen information is generated by the screen information generation unit 192 and a dubbing confirmation screen is displayed on the video display unit 18 via the video screen generation unit 13. Thereafter, the data of each scene is dubbed to the DVD repeatedly until there is no undubbed scene in the HDD 15.

As described above, in this embodiment, when dubbing from the HDD 15 to a DVD, a thumbnail image of a scene to be recorded on one DVD is automatically displayed by simply pressing the dubbing button 201. ing. Therefore, the user can easily recognize how many scenes will be recorded on one DVD before starting dubbing. Furthermore, since the display for confirming whether or not to perform dubbing is displayed at the same time as the thumbnail image, dubbing can be stopped immediately when the displayed thumbnail image is not intended, which is convenient. Further, since the dubbing button 201 is provided on the video camera body, dubbing can be started without carrying the remote control, which is easy to use.

(3) Details of Operation The flow of the above-described dubbing process executed by the video camera will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 to 20 and screen display examples. Here, it is assumed that seven scenes are recorded in the HDD 15.

(3-1) All-scene dubbing processing HDD mode in which the HDD 15 is operated as a recording medium by the power / mode changeover switch (2701 in FIG. 21) of the operation unit 20 in step 301 (step is expressed as ST in the figure, the same applies hereinafter). When a disk navigation button (2706 in FIG. 21) of the operation unit 20 is pressed in step 302, a list of thumbnail images (navigation screen) of scenes recorded in the HDD 15 is displayed in step 303 as shown in FIG. To do.

  A thumbnail image (A to G) 603, which is a representative image of the scene, and a yellow frame 604 (indicated by hatching in the figure) for displaying the selected thumbnail image are displayed at the center of the navigation screen in FIG. ing. At the top of the screen, the title bar 601 displays “all scenes”, the total number of scenes “007”, and the number “001” of the currently selected thumbnail image A603. At the bottom of the screen, a playback button mark for viewing a thumbnail image scene selected in the operation guide 602 and an HDD mark that is a recording destination of the scene on the navigation screen are displayed.

  When it is detected in step 304 that the dubbing button 201 is pressed, the all selection dubbing process is started in step 305. In step 306, the dubbing automatic selection in-progress screen shown in FIG. 7 showing that the dubbing target scene is being automatically selected is displayed, and the process proceeds to the dubbing pre-check process in step 307.

  Even if the navigation button is not pressed in step 302, for example, when the dubbing button 201 is pressed during shooting (during camera through to display a captured image on the image display unit), the screen of FIG. 7 is displayed. Even if the dubbing button 201 is not pressed, step 305 is also executed when “automatic scene selection” is executed through a menu selection operation from step 303.

  In step 307, information on the DVD mounted on the DVD drive 16 can be obtained and recorded, whether a scene is recorded on the HDD 15, and the video camera can be dubbed from information such as the operating state of the video camera. Check in advance. If it is determined in step 307 that the video camera is ready for dubbing, the process proceeds to a dubbing scene automatic selection process in step 308.

  In step 308, a dubbing target scene that can be recorded on the mounted DVD is selected from information such as the number of scenes and the amount of data recorded on the HDD 15 and the remaining recording capacity of the DVD mounted on the DVD drive 16. Here, as described with reference to FIG. 2, scenes A to C are selected as scenes to be dubbed onto the first DVD. In this way, even when no scene is selected, when the dubbing button 201 is touched once, a plurality of scenes that can be recorded on one DVD are automatically selected.

When a dubbing target scene is selected in step 308, a dubbing confirmation screen in FIG. 8 is displayed in step 309. At the center of the dubbing confirmation screen, thumbnail images (A to C) 803 corresponding to the scenes A to C selected as the dubbing target scene and a dubbing confirmation display 805 for confirming the execution of the dubbing operation are displayed. The operation guide 802 at the bottom of the screen displays a playback button mark for determining whether or not to continue the dubbing operation and an on-cursor button mark for confirming the selected scene. The user can determine whether the selected scene is intended by looking at the dubbing confirmation screen, and then can continue dubbing or stop dubbing. As described above, a thumbnail image of a scene to be recorded on one DVD only by pressing the dubbing button 201 is automatically displayed. Therefore, the user can easily recognize how many scenes will be recorded on one DVD before starting dubbing. Furthermore, since a display for confirming whether or not to perform dubbing is displayed at the same time as the thumbnail image, dubbing can be immediately stopped when the displayed thumbnail image is not intended, which is convenient.

In the dubbing confirmation screen in step 309, the user determines whether the selected scene is intended, and when dubbing is continued, the cursor button (
According to 2707 in FIG. 21, “Yes” is selected on the dubbing confirmation display 805 and the enter button is pressed. When canceling dubbing, if “NO” in the dubbing confirmation display 805 is selected in step 314 and the OK button is pressed, the all-select dubbing process is terminated in step 331 and the original navigation screen is restored.

If all the dubbing target scenes are not completely displayed on the dubbing confirmation screen in step 309 or if you want to confirm all the scenes other than the dubbing target scenes, press the selected scene confirmation button, and in step 312 as shown in FIG. Displays the selected scene confirmation screen display. In the center of the screen, thumbnail images (A to G) 903 of all scenes, a red frame 906 (shown in black in the figure) for indicating the scene to be dubbed, and a yellow frame for indicating the selected thumbnail image 904 (displayed with diagonal lines in the figure) is displayed. The title bar 901 displays “Dubbing scene confirmation”, the total number of scenes “007”, and the number “004” of the currently selected thumbnail image D903 at the top of the screen. A stop button for ending the dubbing target scene confirmation display and returning to the dubbing confirmation screen is displayed on the operation guide 902 at the bottom of the screen. In the recording date / time display mode, the operation guide 902 at the bottom of the screen displays image quality: “FINE” and aspect ratio: “16:
9 ”,“ 6 minutes 40 seconds ”, which is the recording time of the scene D, is displayed.

  When the stop button is pressed in step 313, the screen returns to the dubbing confirmation screen in step 309. Thus, even when there are many scenes to be dubbed, the user can easily recognize them before dubbing starts.

  When “Yes” in the dubbing confirmation display 805 is selected with the cursor button 2707 and the enter button is pressed in order to continue the dubbing operation in step 310, a dubbing screen indicating dubbing is displayed in step 315 as shown in FIG. Then, dubbing operation is started. Here, a guide for the required time is calculated and displayed from the size of the scene to be dubbed, the transfer speed, and the writing speed. In step 316, it is determined whether the dubbing has been completed normally. If the dubbing has not been completed normally, a dubbing failure screen indicating dubbing failure is displayed in step 323, and the all selection dubbing process is terminated in step 331. Return to the navigation screen.

If dubbing is completed normally at step 316, a dubbing end screen indicating the end of dubbing is displayed at step 317. In step 318, it is determined whether there is an undubbed scene remaining without being dubbed in addition to the dubbing target scene. If there is no undubbed scene, the process proceeds to step 324. At this time, the system control unit 19 remembers in the memory that it is in the dubbing continuation state. If there is an undubbed scene in step 318, a dubbing continuation confirmation screen for confirming whether or not to dubb to the second DVD is displayed in step 319 as shown in FIG. An operation guide 1202 at the bottom of the screen displays a stop button mark for ending dubbing.

  In step 320, it is determined that the eject button for continuing dubbing to the second DVD or the stop button for ending dubbing has been pressed. If it is determined in step 320 that the stop button has been pressed to end dubbing, the process proceeds to step 324.

  If it is determined in step 320 that the eject button for continuing dubbing to the second DVD has been pressed, a disk insertion request for requesting replacement with the second DVD as shown in FIG. 13 in step 321. When a second DVD is inserted into the DVD drive 16 in step 322 and it is confirmed that the disc cover is closed, a screen during automatic dubbing scene selection in step 306 is displayed, and an undubbed screen is displayed. Steps 306 to 322 are repeated until there are no more scenes. When the stop button is pressed in FIG. 13, the process proceeds to step 331 to end the dubbing process.

  If it is determined in step 318 that there is no undubbed scene, or if it is determined in step 320 that the stop button has been pressed to end dubbing, in step 324 the scenes that have been dubbed are displayed as shown in FIG. A dubbed scene deletion confirmation screen for confirming whether to delete data is displayed. In the center of the dubbed scene deletion confirmation screen, a scene deletion confirmation display 1505 for confirming whether or not the dubbed scene data is to be deleted from the HDD 15 is displayed. An operation guide 1502 at the bottom of the screen displays a play button mark for determining whether to continue erasing dubbed scene data. If the user does not delete the dubbed scene data from the HDD 15 on the dubbed scene deletion confirmation screen, the user selects / determines “No” in the scene deletion confirmation display 1505 with the cursor button 2707 in step 325. All selection dubbing processing is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored. It should be noted that if the scene recorded on the HDD 15 is to be deleted before dubbing is started (eg, after step 310) after the dubbing has been completed successfully, it is left after the user instructs the dubbing. If so, dubbing and deletion can be completed.

  In step 331, the DVD removal confirmation screen shown in FIG. 11 indicating that the DVD can be removed is displayed to inform the user that the DVD can be removed.

When “Yes” in the scene deletion confirmation display 1505 is selected / determined by the cursor button 2707 in step 325, a scene deletion in-progress screen indicating that the dubbed scene data is being deleted is displayed in step 327. In step 328, it is determined whether or not the dubbed scene data has been deleted normally from the HDD 15. If the dubbed scene data has been deleted normally, a scene deletion end screen indicating that the scene has been deleted is displayed in step 329. All selection dubbing processing is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored. At this time, since all scenes on the HDD 15 are deleted, no thumbnail image is displayed on the navigation screen.

  If not successfully deleted in step 328, a scene deletion failure screen indicating that the scene could not be deleted is displayed in step 330. In step 331, the all selection dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is returned to. At this time, only thumbnail images of scenes that have not been deleted are displayed.

In step 322, the second DVD is inserted into the DVD drive 16 and it is confirmed that the disc cover is closed. After the screen for the dubbing scene automatic selection in step 306 is displayed, the DVD drive 16 is loaded in step 307. It is checked in advance whether information on the second DVD can be obtained and recorded, whether a scene is recorded on the HDD 15, and whether the video camera is ready for dubbing based on information such as the operating state of the video camera. If it is determined in step 307 that the present video camera is ready for dubbing, in step 308, information such as the number of undubbed scenes recorded on the HDD 15 and the amount of data and the 2 attached to the DVD drive 16 are stored. The dubbing target scene that can be recorded on the second DVD mounted is selected from the remaining recording capacity of the first DVD. Here, as described with reference to FIG. 2, scenes D to G are selected as scenes to be dubbed onto the second DVD.

When a scene to be dubbed to the second DVD is selected in step 308, a dubbing confirmation screen is displayed in step 309 as shown in FIG. At the center of the dubbing confirmation screen, thumbnail images (D to G) 1903 corresponding to the scenes D to G selected as the dubbing target scene and a dubbing confirmation display 1905 for confirming the execution of the dubbing operation are displayed. When all the dubbing target scenes are not completely displayed on the dubbing confirmation screen at step 309 or when it is desired to confirm all the scenes other than the dubbing target scenes, when the selected scene confirmation button is pressed, at step 312 as shown in FIG. Displays the selected scene confirmation screen display. In the center of the screen are thumbnail images (A to G) 2003 of all scenes, a red frame 2006 (shown in black in the figure) for indicating the scene to be dubbed, and a yellow frame for indicating the selected thumbnail image. 2004 (displayed with diagonal lines in the figure) is displayed. At the top of the screen, the title bar 2001 displays “confirm dubbing scene”, the total number of scenes “007”, and the number “001” of the currently selected thumbnail image A2003. As described above, since the thumbnail image of the scene to be dubbed is displayed for each DVD to be dubbed, even when dubbing is performed for a plurality of DVDs, the scene to be dubbed on the attached DVD can be easily recognized, which is convenient. .

(3-2) Dubbing Advance Check Process Next, the dubbing advance check process in step 307 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. When the dubbing pre-check process is started in step 401, it is determined in step 402 whether the temperature of the video camera is within the operating temperature range, and if it is determined that the video camera is in a high or low temperature state outside the operating temperature range ( For example, a message “outside the operating temperature range” is displayed in No), and all selection dubbing processing is terminated in step 415 and the original navigation screen is restored. If it is determined in step 402 that the temperature is within the operating temperature range, the process proceeds to step 403.

In step 403, it is determined whether the power is supplied from the AC (alternate current) adapter. If the power is supplied from the battery instead of the AC adapter, the adapter alarm screen is displayed in step 404 as shown in FIG. Is displayed, and the user is requested to use the adapter / charger. In step 415, the all-select dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored. If it is determined in step 403 that the power is supplied from the AC adapter, the process proceeds to step 405.

  In step 405, it is determined whether or not the video camera is in a dubbing mode. For example, if it is determined that the dubbing operation cannot be performed, such as during recording or DVD initialization, in step 415, the all selection dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored.

  If it is determined in step 405 that the video camera is in a dubbing mode, it is determined in step 406 whether there is a scene recorded on the HDD 15. If there is no recorded scene, the all selection dubbing process is terminated at step 415 and the original navigation screen is restored.

  If there is a scene recorded in the HDD 15 in step 406, it is determined in step 407 whether a DVD is inserted in the DVD drive 16. If a DVD is not inserted (No in step 406), for example, a message “There is no scene that can be dubbed” is displayed and the process returns to step 322 in FIG.

If a DVD is inserted in the DVD drive 16 in step 407, the DVD is recognized in step 409, and DVD information such as type, protection information, and remaining capacity is acquired, and the DVD inserted in step 410 is acquired. Is a disc that can be recorded. If the DVD inserted in step 410 is a DVD that has no remaining recording capacity, or is a type of DVD that cannot be written by a video camera, such as a read-only DVD such as a DVD-ROM, for example, “record on DVD” “There is no remaining capacity” and “This DVD cannot be used” is displayed, and the process returns to step 322 in FIG.

  If the DVD inserted in step 410 is a recordable disc, it is determined in step 411 whether the DVD inserted has been formatted (initialized).

  If the DVD inserted in step 411 is not formatted (initialized), the DVD initialization confirmation screen of FIG. 19 for confirming whether or not to initialize the DVD is displayed in step 416. . A DVD initialization confirmation display 2205 for confirming whether or not to initialize the DVD is displayed in the center of the DVD initialization confirmation screen. An operation guide 2202 at the bottom of the screen displays a playback button mark for determining whether or not to initialize the DVD. In this DVD initialization confirmation screen, when the user does not initialize the DVD, if “NO” in the DVD initialization confirmation display 2205 is selected / decided by the cursor button 2707 in step 417, the all selection dubbing process is performed in step 415. To return to the original navigation screen.

  When “Yes” in the DVD initialization confirmation display 2205 is selected / determined by the cursor button 2707 at step 417, a DVD initialization screen indicating that the DVD is being initialized is displayed at step 418. In step 419, it is determined whether an error has occurred during DVD initialization. If an error has occurred, a DVD initialization failure screen indicating that DVD initialization has failed is displayed in step 420, and all selection dubbing is performed in step 415. End the process and return to the original navigation screen.

  If it is determined in step 419 that no error has occurred during DVD initialization, the process returns to step 402 to start the dubbing pre-check process.

  If it has been formatted in step 411, it is determined whether the DVD inserted is unprotected in step 412. If it is protected, the all-select dubbing process is terminated in step 415 and the original navigation screen is restored. . If the navigation screen is not displayed and a message such as “Do you want to cancel DVD protection?” Is displayed, for example, the processing may proceed to step 413. Further, the message may be displayed after proceeding to ST413 and 414 while remembering that it is No in ST412.

  If the DVD inserted in step 412 is unprotected, it is determined in step 413 whether the data of the first scene recorded in the HDD 15 is less than 1.4 GB. In the case of 1.4 GB or more, for example, a message “The first scene is large. Please divide the scene” is displayed, and in step 415, the all-selection dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored. Here, it is judged whether the recording capacity is less than 1.4 GB because the recording capacity of the 8-cm type DVD-RAM inserted into the DVD drive 16 of this video camera is a maximum of 1.4 GB in one layer. This is because dubbing cannot be performed when the data is larger than 1.4 GB. When a DVD having a different recording capacity is used, the value of 1.4 GB may be changed. Further, in order to change this value for each DVD type, the correspondence between the DVD type (including the number of layers) and the maximum recording capacity is stored in a table and stored in accordance with the type of the inserted DVD. The value of 4 GB may be changed. Moreover, BD and HD-DVD may be sufficient. Moreover, it is not limited to 8 cm. Further, a screen for dividing a scene may be displayed without returning to the navigation screen.

  If it is determined in step 413 that the data of the first scene recorded in the HDD 15 is less than 1.4 GB, the dubbing pre-check process is terminated in step 414, and the process proceeds to the dubbing scene automatic selection process in step 308.

(3-3) Dubbing Scene Automatic Selection Processing Next, the dubbing scene automatic selection processing in step 308 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. When the dubbing scene automatic selection process is started in step 501, each value used in the dubbing scene automatic selection process is initialized in step 502. Here, the scene number N of the scene data recorded in the HDD 15, the selected scene total capacity, the total scene PG (program) number, the total scene EP (entry point) number, and the dubbing target, which are the total data amount of the selected scene The number of selected scenes M, which is the number of selected scenes, is set to “0”, and the remaining capacity acquired when recognizing a DVD inserted as a DVD remaining capacity for comparing whether the scene enters the DVD (step 409). And

  In step 503, it is determined whether dubbing is continuing for the second and subsequent DVDs. If not, that is, if it is the first DVD, the process proceeds to step 505. In the case of continuing, in step 504, the new number of the scene dubbed in the previous dubbing process is substituted for the scene number N.

In step 505, the scene number N is incremented to the scene number (N + 1), and in step 506, the selected scene number M is incremented to the selected scene number (M + 1).

In step 507, information on the scene of the scene number (N + 1) on the HDD 15 side is acquired. In step 508, the selected scene total capacity is the capacity of the scene number (N + 1), and the total EP number is the number of EPs up to the scene number (N + 1). The total number of scene PGs is set to the number of PGs up to the scene number (N + 1), and it is determined in step 509 whether the number of selected scenes is less than 2.

  If the number of selected scenes is less than 2 in step 509, that is, 1, the dubbing total capacity is checked in step 510 to determine whether the selected scene total capacity is less than the remaining capacity of the DVD acquired in step 409. If the capacity is larger than the remaining capacity of the DVD, the data capacity of the first scene is less than the remaining capacity of the inserted DVD, so dubbing cannot be performed. Therefore, an error message indicating that dubbing cannot be performed as shown in FIG. The screen is displayed, and in step 514, the all selection dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored. If the total selected scene capacity is less than or equal to the remaining capacity of the DVD in step 510, it is further determined in step 511 whether the total scene PG number is 99 or less, and in step 512, the total scene EP number is 999 or less. Is 99 or less and the total number of scene EPs is 999 or less, the process returns to step 505 to determine whether or not the next scene can be selected as a dubbing scene. If the total scene PG number is greater than 99 and the total scene EP number is greater than 999 in steps 511 and 512, an error message screen indicating that dubbing cannot be performed is displayed in step 513 as shown in FIG. At 514, the all selection dubbing process is terminated and the original navigation screen is restored.

If the number of selected scenes is 2 or more at step 509, if the total capacity of the selected scene is less than the remaining capacity of the DVD acquired at step 409 at step 515, the total number of scenes PG is 99 or less at step 516, or step 517 In step 505, it is determined whether the total scene EP number is 999 or less. If the total scene PG number is 99 or less and the total scene EP number is 999 or less, step 505 is performed to determine whether the next scene can be selected as a dubbing scene. Returning to step S507, the scene number is (N + 2), the number of selected scenes is (M + 2) in step 506, and steps 507 to 517 are repeated. If the selected scene total capacity is larger than the remaining DVD capacity in step 515, the total scene PG number is larger than 99 and the total scene EP number is larger than 999 in step 516 and step 517, respectively, Up to the scene number N-1 (the number incremented each time it repeats) is selected as the dubbing target scene, and N-1 is held as the dubbed scene number, and the dubbing scene automatic selection processing is terminated in step 519 Then, a dubbing confirmation screen is displayed in step 309 in FIG.

  Here, the dubbing scene automatic setting process of FIG. 5 will be specifically described using the data of FIG. Here, description of the total number of scene PGs and the total number of scene EPs is omitted. The remaining capacity of the DVD to be used is 1.4 GB.

First, in the case of the first DVD, since dubbing is not continued in step 503, the scene number is set to 1 in step 505, the number of selected scenes is set to 1 in step 506, and the data amount as information of scene 1 (scene A) in step 507 In step 507, the selected scene total capacity is 0.5 GB. In step 509, the number of selected scenes is 1. Therefore, in step 510, the selected scene total capacity is the remaining capacity 1 of the DVD acquired in step 409. Return to step 505 for less than 4 GB. In step 505, the scene number is 2, and in step 506, the number of selected scenes is 2. In step 507, a data amount of 0.2 GB is acquired as information on scene 2 (scene B). In step 507, the selected scene total capacity is 0.7 GB. In step 509, since the number of selected scenes is 2, in step 515, the total capacity of the selected scene is less than 1.4 GB of the remaining DVD capacity acquired in step 409, and the process returns to step 505. This is repeated with scene number 3 and scene number 4, and when the scene number is 4 in step 505, the number of selected scenes is set to 4 in step 506, and a data amount of 0.3 GB is acquired as information on scene 4 (scene D) in step 507 In step 507, the selected scene total capacity is 1.5 GB, and in step 509, the number of selected scenes is 4. Therefore, in step 515, the selected scene total capacity is larger than the remaining capacity 1.4 GB of the DVD acquired in step 409. In step 518, scenes A, B, and C which are scenes up to scene number 3 (= 4-1) are selected as dubbing target scenes, and 3 (= 4-1) is held as the dubbed scene number. The dubbing scene automatic selection process is terminated, and a dubbing confirmation screen is displayed in step 309 in FIG.

After confirming that the second DVD is inserted and the disc cover is closed in step 322, the dubbing scene automatic selection processing is started in step 308 after steps 306 and 307. In step 503, dubbing is continued and step 504 is executed. Then, the dubbed scene number 3 held in step 518 is substituted as the scene number. In step 505, the scene number is set to 4, and steps 506 to 519 are repeated to select scenes D, E, F, and G as scenes to be dubbed onto the second DVD.

In FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, other check items may be provided. For example, since it is not permitted to record a single VF (video format) DVD with a 16: 9 aspect ratio and 4: 3 aspect ratio mixed in one title (particularly DVD-R and DVD). -RW VF mode) If the scene recorded on the HDD 15 is a mixture of images with an aspect ratio of 16: 9 and 4: 3, for example, "There are some scenes that cannot be dubbed". “There are images”, “Wide modes cannot be mixed for DVD-R”, and “Wide modes cannot be mixed for DVD-RW (VF)”. Thereafter, the screen may return to the navigation screen, or a scene selection screen for allowing the user to select a scene may be displayed. In this scene selection screen, the cursor may be placed on the first scene, but if the cursor is placed on an image that has a different aspect ratio than the first scene, which aspect ratio will be different for the user? Easy to understand.

Further, when image quality modes (for example, standard mode, fine mode, and extra mode) photographed with a video camera are mixed, the same processing as in the aspect ratio may be performed. That is, “Some scenes cannot be dubbed.” “There are images with different image quality modes.” “Video quality cannot be mixed for DVD-R.” “DVD-RW (
In the case of VF), a message such as “Video quality cannot be mixed” is displayed, and when displaying a scene selection screen that allows the user to select a scene, place the cursor on an image whose image quality mode is different from the first scene. You may do it. Further, even when the combination of the aspect ratio and the image quality mode is out of the standard, for example, a message “There is a scene recorded in the moving image quality“ STD ”and the wide mode“ on ”” may be displayed. In addition, when editing that combines scenes with different image quality on the HDD 15 is possible, for example, a message “Scenes with different image quality are combined and cannot be dubbed in the case of DVD-RW (VF)”. May be displayed. When the limit value of the number of PE / EP described with reference to FIG. 5 is exceeded, for example, a message “Registrable scene is exceeded. Dubbing cannot be performed” may be displayed.

  The all selection dubbing process has been described above. Here, “all selection” has been described as dubbing all scene data recorded in the HDD 51. However, even if it is a process of automatically selecting a scene that fits in only one DVD inserted in the video camera. It is the same. In this case, step 318 may be omitted, and the process may proceed from step 316 to step 324 or step 311.

(3-4) Scene Designation Dubbing Process Although the process of automatically selecting a scene has been described, the user can select a scene to be dubbed. In this case, if “scene designation” is executed via an operation from the navigation screen in step 303 in FIG. 3, the scene designation dubbing process is executed without going to step 305. An example of a scene selection screen that allows the user to designate a scene is shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 20, a thumbnail image (A to G) 3103 of the scene in the center of the screen, a red frame 3106 (shown in black in the figure) for indicating the dubbing target scene selected by the user, and selection A yellow frame 3104 (indicated by hatching in the figure) for displaying the thumbnail image being displayed is displayed. The red frame 3106 can be selected so as not to include the head scene. In the upper part of the screen, “Dubbing (scene selection)” which is the title of the screen is displayed in the title bar 3101. 3107 is a capacity bar visually showing the capacity of the DVD,
The left column of the bar (lower left hatched line) is a measure of the capacity already recorded on the DVD, and the center column of the bar (lower right hatched line) is the capacity of the already selected scene with the red frame 3106 and the yellow frame 3104 attached. As a guide, the right column of the bar (outlined) shows a guide for the free space of the DVD that can be recorded in other than the recorded or selected scene. By displaying such a bar, the user can select a scene to be dubbed in consideration of the remaining capacity of the DVD. Even if this bar is displayed in FIG. 9, the user can record the capacity of the automatically selected scene recorded on the DVD and the capacity recorded on the DVD before dubbing. I understand. In the lower part of the screen, guidance of a decision button for making the operation guide 3102 decide dubbing in the selected scene and guidance for a selection all release button for releasing all the selected scenes are displayed.

  Also in the scene designation dubbing process, the check process described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 is executed. However, an error caused by a mixture of scenes with different methods is different from the entire scene selection, and will be described.

The error due to the mixing of scenes with different methods is, for example, the above-described difference in aspect ratio between scenes, difference in image quality between scenes, and the like. In the whole scene selection, a message is displayed when there is a scene with a different aspect ratio or different image quality in the scene included in the HDD 15 or the scene selected in the whole scene selection process. In the scene selection process, the aspect ratio is different or the image quality is compared between the scene already selected by the user (the scene in the red frame 3106 in FIG. 20) and the selected scene (the yellow frame 3104 in FIG. 20). If they are different, the message shown in FIG. 20 may be displayed.

  Further, if a scene that cannot be dubbed to the same DVD as the already selected scene is shown before being selected, it may be known before the user selects it. Examples of the method include adding a cross mark, changing the color, or making the selection impossible.

  FIG. 22 shows a dubbing confirmation screen display example suitable for Example 2 when there are many scenes. A description will be given mainly of a different part from FIG. 8 which is a display example of the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, only a maximum of four thumbnail images of the scene to be dubbed can be displayed. Therefore, a dubbing scene confirmation screen display as shown in FIG. 9 is prepared. Each thumbnail image is reduced so as to be displayed. Here, thumbnail images 2803 (A to G) when seven scenes A to G are selected are shown. By displaying in this way, even if the number of scenes to be dubbed increases, it can be confirmed on one screen, so it is convenient.

  Furthermore, when there are up to four dubbing target scenes, the display of FIG. 8 may be performed, and when the number of dubbing target scenes becomes four or more, the display may be switched to the display of FIG. As a result, the contents can be confirmed on one screen with a large thumbnail image when the number of scenes to be dubbed is small and small thumbnail images when the number of scenes to be dubbed is large.

  FIG. 23 shows another example of the dubbing confirmation screen display suitable for Example 3 when there are many scenes. A description will be given mainly of a different part from FIG. 8 which is a display example of the first embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, the size of the thumbnail image 2903 is the same as that in FIG. 8 of the first embodiment, but the display of the dubbing confirmation display 2905 is reduced so that a maximum of eight thumbnail images can be displayed. By displaying in this way, even if the number of scenes to be dubbed increases, it can be confirmed on one screen, so it is easy to use.

  Furthermore, when there are up to four dubbing target scenes, the display of FIG. 8 may be displayed, and when the number of dubbing target scenes becomes four or more, the display may be switched to the display of FIG.

  FIG. 24 shows another example of the dubbing confirmation screen display suitable for Example 4 when there are many scenes. A description will be given mainly of a different part from FIG. 8 which is a display example of the first embodiment.

In the fourth embodiment, each thumbnail image 3003 is reduced and the display of the dubbing confirmation display 3005 is reduced so that the number of thumbnails corresponding to the number of selected scenes is displayed. A thumbnail image of the scene to be dubbed can be displayed on one screen. By displaying in this way, even if the number of scenes to be dubbed increases, it can be confirmed on one screen, so it is easy to use.

  Furthermore, when there are up to four dubbing target scenes, the display of FIG. 8 may be displayed, and when the number of dubbing target scenes becomes four or more, the display may be switched to the display of FIG. As a result, the contents can be confirmed on one screen with a large thumbnail image when the number of scenes to be dubbed is small and small thumbnail images when the number of scenes to be dubbed is large.

  The examples 1 to 4 have been described above.

In the above embodiment, the thumbnail image of the scene to be dubbed and the dubbing confirmation display are displayed on the same screen in the dubbing confirmation screen display in step 309. However, they may be displayed separately. For example, in step 309, the thumbnail image may be displayed for a predetermined time and then switched to the dubbing confirmation display.

The dubbing operation can be performed only when power is supplied from the AC adapter, but the dubbing operation may be performed when power is supplied from the battery. When the number of scenes to be dubbed is small, the power consumption is also small, so that dubbing is unlikely to stop halfway. Further, the dubbing time may be compared with the battery drivable time, and when the battery driving time is longer than the dubbing time, the dubbing operation may be started. Further, dubbing may be permitted when there is a remaining battery level equal to or greater than a predetermined amount. In this way, dubbing can be performed even without an adapter.

  As for button operations during dubbing, it is desirable not to accept operations such as a recording button, a stop button, and power-off during dubbing.

  Further, in the dubbing scene automatic selection process of FIG. 5, the selection is made based on the capacity, the number of EPs, and the number of PGs. However, other than the shooting date, such as a scene that is shot on the same date and can be recorded on one DVD. You may make it select based on these conditions. Moreover, these can also be combined. For example, when the dubbing button 201 is pressed once, the process of FIG. 5 may be executed, and when the dubbing button 201 is pressed twice, a scene that is shot on the same date and can be recorded on one DVD may be selected.
