Abstract
The present invention provides an efficient preview method for seeking certain media content of the media source, such as a DVD, a VCD or a media file. With the present invention, the user could no longer seek the desired playing time blindly. Before the playing of the media source is switched to present the selected point, the user is able to preview the media content without interrupting the playing of a main window by the way of PIP, separated preview window or a dialog bubble. The steps of the method comprise: receiving a first data stream from a media source; decoding and rendering the first data stream to present the content thereof; receiving a second data stream from the media source when a seeking instruction is input, wherein the second data stream is acquired according to the seeking instruction; and decoding and rendering the second data stream to present the content thereof together with the content of the first data stream concurrently. Preferably, the content of the second data stream is presented in a preview window or a dialog bubble.
