The apparatus includes a memory having banks, each bank storing one field of a multi-field picture. The banks of the memory from which picture data is to be read when pictures are reproduced in a reverse reproduction mode are specified so that the fields are read in a reverse order from the order in which the fields are read when pictures are reproduced in a forward reproduction mode.
