1. A method of recording digital data in a plurality of tracks on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:

  • respectively separating said digital data representing two channels and associated with a frame of video data into odd-numbered data segments and even-numbered data segments;

    recording the odd-numbered data segments associated with a first channel of said frame in a first region on a first set of consecutive tracks;

    recording the even-numbered data segments associated with said first channel of said frame in a second region on said first set of consecutive tracks, said second region being distinct from said first region;

    recording the odd-numbered data segments associated with a second channel of said frame on a first region of a second set of consecutive tracks following said first set;

    recording the even-numbered data segments associated with said second channel of said frame on a second region of said second set of consecutive tracks;

    compressing said digital data representing two channels in order to produce compressed digital data;

    compressing said video data in order to produce compressed video data; and

    recording said compressed digital data representing two channels and said compressed video data in a third region of said first set of consecutive tracks and in a third region of said second set of consecutive tracks.
