METHOD FOR EDITING SOURCE VIDEO TO SLOW MOTION OR FAST MOTION ON THE RECORDABLE MEDIA

摘要

A method for editing source video in a DVD medio for a slow motion recording special effect. According to the method, the DVD device receives a source video signal comprised of a plurality of source pictures. Each of the source video pictures is recorded in a selected picture frame on the DVD media. Subsequently s-1 copies of the selected source video picture are recorded on the DVD media in s-1 frames adjacent to the selected picture frame. For the purposes of the invention as described herein, s can be an integer value determined by a user selected motion speed. The user selected motion sepeed will be 1/s times slower relative to a normal motion speed. In an alternative embodiment, the method can be used for editing source video in a DVD media for a fast motion record special effect. In that case, the DVD device receives a source video signal comprised of a plurality of source pictures. Only one out of every n of the source video pictures is chosen as a selected source video picture. Each of the selected source video pictures is recorded in a selected picture frame on the DVD media. Source video pictures that are not selected source video pictures are dropped. According to the invention, n can be an integer value determined by a user selected motion speed.
