Abstract
In a method and apparatus for displaying resized pictures on an interlaced target display system, the contents of an input video source are initially read and decoded to obtain original input picture data and title format information that indicates scan format of the original input picture data. According to the scan format of the original picture data and the identified television system specification of the interlaced target display system, a resizing operation is then performed to resize the original input picture data and obtain resized frames having a frame size sufficient for division into even and odd fields with field size characteristics that comply with the television system specification of the interlaced target display system. The resized frames are stored in a resize memory, and the resize memory is subsequently controlled to output the resized frames in the form of the even and odd fields with a timing sequence that complies with field scanning characteristics of the television system specification of the interlaced target display system.
