Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the presentation of information previously recorded on a videodisc player enables a user to simply and efficiently select and playback user-specified segments of the information prerecorded on the videodisc in an order individually determined by the user. Instantaneous access to video and audio information can be controlled precisely so that preselected portions of the recorded information can be accessed at any time. All portions of selected segments can be chosen. In addition, all or selected portions of any amount to the prerecorded information can be sequentially accessed by the user of the system.
