SLOW FORWARD TRICK MODE PLAYBACK OF RECORDED VIDEO

摘要

The invention concerns a system and method (200) for producing an optimal slow forward trick mode playback of a portion of video containing a plurality of pictures wherein at least a portion of the plurality of pictures are predictive pictures. The invention includes the steps of: receiving (210) a slow forward trick mode command; and inhibiting (216) the display of an initial set of the plurality of pictures prior to obtaining a properly decoded predictive picture from the initial set of the plurality of pictures. The invention can also include the steps of: selectively decoding (214) the plurality of pictures to obtain the properly decoded predictive picture from the initial set of the plurality of pictures; and decoding (218) subsequent pictures in the portion of video using the properly decoded predictive picture to obtain subsequent properly decoded pictures.
