Method for storing and reproducing video signals

摘要

A method for storing and reproducing video signals is described, the picture information of which is structured into video frames. As a means for carrying out such a method, a known hybrid coder can be used which codes the video data coming from a video data source either in accordance with the intraframe principle or the interframe principle for reducing the bit rates. So that the hybrid decoder connected between memory and monitor does not need to run at a higher speed than normal during a fast check (fast forward or fast rewind) it is provided to code a prescribed section, which can be recognised again in isolation, of predetermined video frames in accordance with the so-called intraframe principle during the storage. During an accelerated check of the stored picture information, the prescribed sections are read out and only these are decoded and reproduced on the monitor.
