Abstract
A process and device are disclosed for playing back multimedia data in a motor vehicle. A digital multiplexed audio-video data stream from a multimedia data carrier, in particular a DVD, is read and separated into an audio data stream, a video data stream and a menu data stream. The audio data stream is converted into an audio signal which can be acoustically output and is output by an acoustic output unit. The video data stream and the menu data stream are combined into a digital graphic data stream which is blanked out when the motor vehicle is in movement. The graphic data stream is converted into a graphic signal which can be graphically output and is output by a graphic output unit. This ensures that the menu data are displayed even when the vehicle is in movement, so that the multimedia data carrier remains constantly useable.
