Abstract
A device reads control data from a recording medium and stores the data in a coded data control portion. At random accessing, the control data is read-out from the coded-data control portion and entered into a recording medium controller which in turn controls the recording medium to read-out only desired data according to the information inputted from the coded data control portion. In random access playback, fast playback from the midway of a video-sequence can be realized by accessing coded data of a video frame by using control data.
