A method of and apparatus for recording selected AV (Audio/Video) data from a first data store (106) to an AVDDM (Audio/Video Distributable Data Medium) (102) is described. The method comprises reading a portion (104, 112, 122) of the selected AV data from the first store (106); and transferring (108, 120) the read portion (104, 112, 122) to an AVDDM recorder (70) via a second store (114) in which the read portion (104, 112, 122) has been temporarily stored. The read portion (104, 112, 122) is then recorded (110) onto the AVDDM (e.g. a CD) (102). These processing steps are repeated until all the portions of the selected AV data have been recorded onto the AVDDM (70) and at least the reading, and recording steps are carried out simultaneously for different portions of the selected AV data. The apparatus can also be used as part of a compiling apparatus which is linked to a remote database preferably via a satellite link (28) and comprises a user-friendly simple GUI (Graphical User Interface).
