Apparatus and method for decoding data

摘要

Data decoding suitable for a compressed moving picture, audio information, and so forth recorded on a disc or the like. A pack header and a packet header are separated from information reproduced with the video signal; and a time code is extracted from the header of a GOP (Group of Pictures). Successive time codes are added to those pictures (B pictures and P pictures) of the GOP to which time codes have not been assigned.
