The invention relates to a method for the selection of stored video programs (S<SUB>i</SUB>) in which, together with the video program (S<SUB>i</SUB>), their running time (t<SUB>Di</SUB>) and, if necessary, an information item (I<SUB>i</SUB>) about the content, for example the genre, are stored and also a playback device ( 1 ) for video programs (S<SUB>i</SUB>). To take account of a specified time interval (DeltaT) and optimally utilize said time duration (DeltaT), provision is made, on the basis of the specified time duration (DeltaT), for those video programs (S<SUB>n</SUB>) to be automatically selected from the stored video programs (S<SUB>i</SUB>) whose running time (t<SUB>Dn</SUB>), multiplied by any applicable compression factor (Cn), is shorter than or equal to the specified time duration (DeltaT). As a result of the method according to the invention, all those video programs (S<SUB>n</SUB>) are consequently offered whose duration with the applicable compression, if any, is within the specified time duration (DeltaT). Furthermore, as a result of compression of a subsequent video program (S<SUB>F</SUB>) transmitted after the time duration (DeltaT), the available time duration (DeltaT) can be prolonged and, consequently, the offer of those video programs (S<SUB>n</SUB>) that are within the prolonged time duration (NxDeltaT) can be increased.
