Optical disk and optical disk reproduction apparatus
First Claim
1. An optical disk having main information and a sector address recorded in each of respective sectors thereon, wherein:
- said main information includes at least compressed image data having a variable transfer rate;
said optical disk has time codes stored therein, as well as a table stored at a selected location thereon, which table contains information correlating said sector addresses and said time codes, a relationship between said sector addresses and said time codes being inconstant; and
image data associated with a desired time code can be selectively reproduced by means of said information in said table correlating said sector addresses and said time codes.

Abstract
An optical disk recording thereon compressed moving picture data and an optical disk reproduction apparatus each capable of easily effecting trick play such as high speed reproduction and a retrieval operation at a high speed. Additional information necessary for trick play is recorded in an arbitrary area of an optical disk such as a TOC (Table of Contents) or a leading sector (sector 0) of the disk, and a sector address is added to each sector. To conduct trick play, an I picture, a P picture and a B picture contained in a GOP layer inside a bit stream of compressed image data are extracted and reproduced in accordance with a reproduction speed by looking up a trick play table.
