Abstract: The present invention provides a video reproducing device which provides a function of reproducing a still image file and a moving image file recorded onto a recording medium in plural formats so that a user can easily identify a matched statuses of the files in the video reproducing device and can select and operate a target file as well as a control method therefor. The present invention displays an index screen in which thumbnails of a still image file and a moving image file in plural formats read from a recording medium are arrayed and further displays icons for clarifying a match relation between the video reproducing device and the files.
Abstract: A CDA processing section extracts an unused area of an information recording medium via a disc status management section and a drive control section. The CDA processing section divides the extracted unused areas by a division criteria value MAS, which allows continuous reproduction of a video and audio stream, and reserves areas having the size of the division criteria value MAS as CDAs. This enables continuous reproduction of AV data, and multiple data can be recorded simultaneously.
Abstract: The operation of a video playback application supporting display of an encoded video may be validated using a special-purpose video decoder. The decoder compares pre-determined indications of dependency frames for frames of the video with dependency frames that are identified based on an order in which the frames are provided to the decoder. Based on the comparison, the decoder verifies that the frames may be decoded with correct dependencies. In one implementation, a frame of a video is accessed. A first description and a second description identifying frames of the video upon which decoding of the accessed frame depends are accessed. The first description is compared to the second description, and whether the first and second descriptions identify a common set of frames is determined based on the identifying.

Abstract: A slave clock may be synchronized to a master clock by means of a synchronization signal sent from the master to the slave clock side of the link. The synchronization signal may be an expected signal pattern sent at intervals expected by the slave side. The slave clock may correlate received signals with a representation of the expected synchronization signal to produce a correlation sample sequence at a first sample rate which is related as n times the slave clock rate. A best interpolation may in turn be further refined by estimating between interpolator outputs adjacent to the best interpolation output. The synchronization signal receipt time thus determined is compared to the expected time based upon the slave clock, which is adjusted until the times match. The best interpolation may in turn be further refined by estimating between interpolator outputs adjacent to the best interpolation output.
