An improved video recorder/transceiver with expanded functionality ("VCR-ET") including a capability for storing video and video programs in digital format, editing such programs, transferring such programs onto a hard copy magnetic media, and transmitting such programs to a remote location using a second VCR-ET. The increased functionality is realized through the use of analog to digital conversion, signal compression and intermediate storage in an integrated circuit, random access memory. The recorder/transmitter has capabilities to transmit and receive program information in either a compressed or decompressed format over fiber optic lines, conventional phone lines or microwaves. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
An audio/video transceiver apparatus comprising: input means for receiving audio/video source information, said audio/video source information comprising a multiplicity of video frames collectively representing at least one full motion video program; compression means, coupled to said input means, for compressing said audio/video source information into a digital time compressed representation thereof, wherein said digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information is capable of being transmitted in a burst transmission time period that is substantially shorter than a time period associated with real time viewing by a receiver of said audio/video source information; storage means, coupled to said compression means, for storing said digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information; and transmission means, coupled to said storage means, for transmitting said digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information away from said audio/video transceiver apparatus in said burst transmission time period.
2.
The audio/video transceiver apparatus of claim 1, further comprising editing means, coupled to said storage means, for editing the digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information stored in said storage means and for storing the edited digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information in said storage means.
3.
The audio/video transceiver apparatus of claim 2, wherein said transmission means is configured to receive the edited digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information and to transmit the edited digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information away from said audio/video transceiver apparatus in said burst transmission time period.
4.
The audio/video transceiver apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: decompression means, coupled to said storage means, for selectively decompressing the digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information stored in said storage means; and editing means, coupled to said decompression means and said storage means, for editing the decompressed digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information, and for then storing the edited decompressed digital time compressed representation of said audio/video source information in said storage means
