Abstract

Un dispositif d'enregistrement en double de données extrait les données d'un premier support d'enregistrement (171A) et enregistre les données extraites sur un deuxième support d'enregistrement (171B). Si le procédé de codage des données extraites est estimé ne pas être un procédé de codage prédéterminé permettant la reproduction de données à partir du deuxième support d'enregistrement (171B), les données extraites sont converties en données de codage sur la base d'un procédé de codage prédéterminé. De plus, on évalue également pour l'extraction des données s'il faut restructurer les données selon les données de gestion extraites en même temps que les données. Selon le résultat de cette évaluation, les données sont restructurées de manière à obtenir une reproduction sans interruption. Les données traitées de manière à suivre le procédé de codage prédéterminé et à être alignées en continu sont successivement enregistrées dans une série de zones du deuxième support d'enregistrement (171).
