Video reproducing apparatus
First Claim
1. A video reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reading means to read video image-related data from a recording medium having the video image-related data recorded thereon;
video signal generating means to generate video signals for reproduction of video images on the basis of the video image-related data read by the reading means;
reproduction control means to control a process of reproducing the video images, using the reading means and the video signal generating means;
operating means to perform setting operation for setting a mark position which is referenced by the reproduction control means as a starting position to start reproducing the video images; and
mark position setting means to set the mark position in accordance with operation of the operating means by a user, wherein, in accordance with the setting operation for setting the mark position by the user using the operating means, the mark position setting means sets, as the mark position, a position of a video image presumed as a scene change in video images nearby a position of a video image reproduced at the time the setting operation for setting the mark position is performed.

Abstract
When a mark key of a remote control is pressed by a user during fast-forward reproduction of video images and audio sounds, a system control unit searches a position of a video image which is presumed as a scene change closest to and on rewind side from the position of the video image reproduced at the time the mark key is pressed. This search is performed, based on rate of change in amount of data (bit rate) of the compressed video data used per unit time to generate the video signals by a video and audio signal processing unit. The system control unit then sets, as a mark position, the position of the video image presumed as the scene change.

6. A video reproducing apparatus comprising:
-
reading means to read video image-related data from a recording medium having the video image-related data recorded thereon;
video signal generating means to generate video signals for reproduction of video images on the basis of the video image-related data read by the reading means;
reproduction control means to control a process of reproducing the video images, using the reading means and the video signal generating means;
operating means to perform setting operation for setting a mark position which is referenced by the reproduction control means as a starting position to start reproducing the video images; and
mark position setting means to set the mark position in accordance with operation of the operating means by a user, wherein, when the user performs a first operation to set the mark position using the operating means, the reproduction control means reproduces the video images in rewind direction from a position of a video image reproduced at the time the first operation is performed, and wherein, when the user performs a second operation to set the mark position using the operating means after the first operation, the mark position setting means sets, as the mark position, the position of the video image reproduced at the time the second operation is performed.

7. A video reproducing apparatus comprising:
-
reading means to read video image-related data from a recording medium having the video image-related data recorded thereon;
video signal generating means to generate video signals for reproduction of video images on the basis of the video image-related data read by the reading means;
reproduction control means to control a process of reproducing the video images, using the reading means and the video signal generating means;
operating means to perform setting operation for setting a mark position which is referenced by the reproduction control means as a starting position to start reproducing the video images; and
mark position setting means to set the mark position in accordance with operation of the operating means by a user, wherein the operating means comprises a mark key to set the mark position, wherein, while the mark key continues to be pressed by the user, the reproduction control means reproduces, in slow mode, the video images in rewind direction from a position of a video image reproduced at the time the mark key starts being pressed, and wherein, when the mark key is released from being pressed, the mark position setting means sets, as the mark position, the position of the video image reproduced at the time the mark key is released.

8. A video reproducing apparatus comprising:
-
reading means to read video image-related data from a recording medium having the video image-related data recorded thereon;
video signal generating means to generate video signals for reproduction of video images on the basis of the video image-related data read by the reading means;
reproduction control means to control a process of reproducing the video images, using the reading means and the video signal generating means;
operating means to perform setting operation for setting a mark position which is referenced by the reproduction control means as a starting position to start reproducing the video images; and
mark position setting means to set the mark position in accordance with operation of the operating means by a user, wherein, when the user performs a first operation to set the mark position using the operating means, the reproduction control means reproduces the video images in forward direction from a position of a video image which is back, in a given amount in rewind direction, from a position of a video image reproduced at the time the first operation is performed, and wherein, when the user performs a second operation to set the mark position using the operating means after the first operation, the mark position setting means sets, as the mark position, the position of the video image reproduced at the time the second operation is performed.
