Video recording and reproducing apparatus and method of reproducing video in the same

摘要

When performing special reproduction with a video recording and reproducing apparatus that reproduces anAV stream, a controller of the video recording and reproducing apparatus calculates a reproduction position in AU at desired time by referring to a timestamp that is added to the head of AU of two adjacent AV streams, gives an instruction of an I-picture exclusive mode to output only I-pictures to a decoder, and reproduces an I-picture. With such arrangement, in a video recording and reproducing apparatus which records and reproduces digital TV broadcasting, it becomes possible to execute special reproduction such as fast-forwarding reproduction of data in which MPEG2-TS is recorded even if the data does not contain position information of I-picture such as SI.
