ABSTRACT:
Digital streams are converted into analog signals for recording by analog recorders, such as conventional video cassette recorders, onto analog storage media, such as conventional video cassette tapes. The recorded analog signals are then retrieved from the analog storage media using an analog player, such as a conventional video cassette player, and converted back into the original digital streams. The present invention allows conventional analog-based recording and playing equipment, like video cassette recorders/players, to be used for storing and retrieving digital data. In one embodiment, the digital streams correspond to digital audio/video data and the retrieved digital streams can be further processed to playback the audio/video streams using conventional television sets. In other embodiments, the digital streams correspond to other digital data streams that can be converted into analog signals for storage and retrieval using conventional video cassette recorders and conventional video cassette tapes.
