DATA REPRODUCING DEVICE AND EDITING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data reproducing device and an editing device capable of improving encoded image quality. SOLUTION: A data reading part 2 reads encoded data and reproduction control information recorded on a recording medium 1. A decoder controller 4 makes an MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group) decoder 6 start to decode the encoded data corresponding to a cell #1 on the basis of a reproduction sequence of the reproduction control information. The decoded data from the decoder 6 are inputted to a reproduction time observation device 8. The observation device 8 observes the reproduction time of the decoded data of the decoder 6 and outputs a switch signal to a switching controller 10 when a time described in the display start information of the cell #1 from the a reproduction controller 3 arrives. A cell #2 to be next reproduced is thereby decoded by an MPEG decoder 7.
