Abstract
The present invention refers to a method for reproducing an audio and/or video sequence, as well as a reproducing device and reproducing apparatus that make use of the method; the method reproduces an audio and/or video sequence by means of a decoder (D) apt to decode said sequence and a buffer (B) connected upstream to said decoder (D) and able to store at least a part of said sequence; the sequence is transmitted by means of a number of data blocks; each of said blocks comprises an audio and/or video information data section and a corresponding error correction data section; such sections are transmitted in different time intervals; the method comprises a transitory operation mode and a steady state operation mode; in the steady state operation mode the correction data of the block (FEC) are applied to the corresponding information data before said information data are supplied to said decoder (D), while in the transitory operation mode the information data of a block are directly supplied to said decoder (D) ignoring the corresponding correction data of said block; the transitory operation mode is used after the audio and/or video sequence has been selected for the reproduction and for a determined time interval; the result is that the reproduction of the sequence takes place immediately after the selection and without waiting for the application of the correction data.
