A computer system and method for storing video data in memory is disclosed. Memory
capacity is evaluated. If the memory capacity is sufficient to allow the storing
of video data in the mass storage device, then the video data is stored. If the
memory capacity available is insufficient to storage the video data and the mass
storage device, the oldest stored video data in the mass storage device is identified.
The oldest stored video data is then removed from the mass storage device and stored
in memory. The video data in memory is then modified to require less space in memory.
The new video data and the modified video data are then written to the mass storage device.
