VARIABLE RATE VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH SYNCHRONIZED AUDIO

摘要

A system varies the apparent display rate of an audiovisual display by modifying an original set of audio data in accordance with a target display rate, then modifying a related original set of video data to conform to the modifications made to the audio data set, such that the modified audio and video data sets are synchronized. The apparent display rate can be faster or slower than a normal display rate for the original sets of audio and video data. Preferably, the method for modifying the original audio data set is one that produces a modified audio data set that can be used to generate an audio display having little or no distortion.
