METHOD OF RECORDING AND OF REPLAYING AND VIDEO RECORDING AND REPLAY SYSTEMS

摘要

A video stream and different trickplay versions of that stream are stored as separate files in a randomly accessible storage medium. In order to facilitate seamless switching between streams linking information is provided, which links positions of content within the normal play stream to positions of corresponding content within the trickplay streams. Upon receiving a switch command for switching between trickplay modes or to or from a normal play mode the linking information is consulted to determine corresponding locations in different streams for the different modes and used to jump to a point within the new stream.
