Abstract
Structure information on picture within a GOP of a coded data sequence is acquired beforehand. At the time of high-speed reproduction, a high-speed reproduction mode judging unit judges by referring to the picture structure information whether a high-speed smooth reproduction is possible or not. If the high-speed reproduction is possible, a high-speed smooth reproduction control unit performs the high-speed smooth reproduction. If not possible, a high-speed skip reproduction control unit performs high-speed skip reproduction. For reverse reproduction, image data for one GPO, for example, are recoded by an MPEG encoder and then the recoded image data are stored in a storage. Then, a coded data amount predicted from the structure information on the picture within the GOP is compared with the capacity of the storage, and a countermeasure such as raising a compression ratio is taken if the estimated coded data amount exceeds the capacity of the storage.
