Abstract
A method and apparatus for partially up/downscaling an image encoded on a macroblock basis utilizing a computer. The method and apparatus performs operations of: creating map data of the encoded image so as to be able to find a filestream position corresponding to a macroblock in the encoded image to be decoded; creating a shrunken image of the encoded image; receiving a first control request from a user to display a first part in the encoded image; displaying on a display device, a second part in the shrunken image corresponding to the first part in the encoded image; decoding macroblocks containing the first part in the encoded image, using the map data; and displaying on the display device, the first part in the encoded image using the decoded macroblocks so as to replace the second part in the shrunken image therewith.
