Abstract
A digital video playback architecture utilizes review speed adjustment markers to enable viewer recognition of an event in a video program during fast advance of the video, either in a fast-forward advance mode or a rewind advance mode. A review speed adjustment marker gives the viewer time to recognize, or otherwise ascertain, an event in the video and stop the fast advance to review the video content, or other information, associated with the review speed adjustment marker at a normal playback speed.
