A data output apparatus includes a disk drive for driving a magneto-optical disk. Compressed image data recorded on the magneto-optical disk is transferred from the magneto-optical disk to an SDRAM according to a transfer instruction set in an instruction list and then output through an expansion process by a JPEG codec. A size of the compressed image data for which the transfer instruction is set in the instruction list and which has not yet been transferred to the SDRAM, and a size of the compressed image data for which the transfer instruction is set in the instruction list and which has not yet been expanded are detected by a CPU. The CPU suspends an output of an expansion instruction to the JPEG codec when a difference between the detected sizes is below a threshold value.
A data output apparatus which outputs data stored in a recording medium via a first buffer memory, comprising:
A data output method which transfers to a buffer memory data recorded on a recording medium according to a transfer instruction set in an instruction list and reads the data stored in said buffer memory, comprising steps of:
A data output apparatus comprising a processor which is installed with a multitask OS and outputting data recorded on a recording medium via a buffer memory, wherein
