摘要:
A video data transmission method and apparatus for transmitting video encoded data with intra-coded video data portions therein suitable for selective high speed reproduction. A first entry point is detected in the encoded data which corresponds to the position of a first intra-coded video data portion. At least one packet is generated on the basis of the decoded first entry point that includes position information relating to at least one second entry point and at least one additional information relating to the video encoded data. The second entry point exists in a forward direction or in a backward direction relative to the first entry point and corresponds to position of at least one second intra-coded video data portion. The packet is multiplexed at a predetermined position of the video encoded data, wherein the multiplexed video encoded data is suitable for selective high speed reproduction of the intra-coded video data portions.

A data demultiplexer for separating multiplex data including at least coded video data, coded audio data, timing data indicative of a video decoding start time, timing data indicative of an audio decoding start time, and timing data indicative of a system clock reference time. The demultiplexer comprises a circuit for separating the multiplex data into the component data, and comparators for comparing input data with the reference timing data. When the timing data indicative of a video decoding start time is inputted and detected, the video data is written in a video code buffer at the maximum transfer rate. During such time period, the reference timing data indicative of the current time is monitored, and the operation of decoding the video data is started when the reference timing data has become equal to the video timing data. A similar operation is performed with regard to the audio data as well, so that the video and audio data can be inputted fast to consequently enhance the responsivity at the start of reproduction.

An apparatus and method for preparing a variable-rate coded signal, generated by compressing a digital input signal using a variable compression ratio and including a signal portion of a predetermined type, for recording on a recording medium. In the apparatus, a circuit generates a flag signal indicating the signal portion of the a predetermined type in the variable-rate coded signal. A signal-type marker generating circuit generates a signal-type marker in response to the flag signal. Finally, a circuit multiplexes the signal-type marker with the variable-rate coded signal to produce a multiplexed signal for recording on the recording medium. The signal-type marker is located adjacent to the signal portion of the predetermined type to indicate the signal portion of the predetermined type in the multiplexed signal. Where the multiplexed signal is divided into packs of plural packets, the signal marker is included in an entry pack located immediately preceding a packet that includes the signal portion of the predetermined type. Where the multiplexed signal is divided into sectors and each sector includes a sector header, the signal marker is included as subcode in the sector header of a sector that includes the signal portion of a predetermined type.

A method and apparatus for reproducing pictures from a recording medium in search mode wherein each picture is recorded in the recording medium in the form of a coded signal. The coded signal is coded in either an intra-picture coding mode or an inter-picture coding mode. The coded signal of a picture coded in the intra-picture coding mode is an I-picture; the coded signal of a picture coded in the inter-picture coding mode with only forward prediction is a P-picture; and the coded signal of a picture coded in the inter-picture coding mode with bidirectional prediction is a B-picture. The pictures are reproduced from a read position on the recording medium. To provide an increased number of pictures in search mode, the read position is changed to a first read position, and an I-picture is immediately reproduced from the recording medium at the first read position. Then, at least one B-picture or one P-picture is immediately reproduced from the recording medium following the I-picture. Finally, the I-picture and the at least one B-picture or P-picture is decoded to provide an output signal for display.

The present invention provides remarkably improved availability in a data recording method and apparatus, a data recording medium, and a data reproducing method and apparatus. By recording additional information for data reproduction in each sector on a data reproducing medium as a subcode separately from data when the data is recorded in the unit of sector, reproduction of data can be controlled using the subcode, thus making it possible to remarkably improve the availability of the data recording medium.

The invention provides a a recording data production apparatus and method, a recording medium reproduction apparatus and method and a recording medium by which interruption of data can be prevented even when reproduction of data is performed in a different order from the order in which the data are recorded. When it is intended to allow reproduction of data in an order of a block A, a block B and a block D or in another order of the block A, a block C and the block D, in order to prevent underflow of data from a buffer memory of a reproduction apparatus, the block B is sectioned into sections B.sub.1 to B.sub.3 and the block C is sectioned into sections C.sub.1 to C.sub.3. Then, the lengths of the sections are set to a predetermined value, and the blocks are arranged in an order of the blocks A, B.sub.1, C.sub.1, B.sub.2, C.sub.3, B.sub.3, C.sub.3 and D. In each section, addresses of a jumping start point and a jumping destination are recorded as control information.
