Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing user controlled implementation of trick play modes of operation of digital video data is disclosed. A user interface is provided on a video screen. The user is prompted to select a speed on the user interface at which the trick play mode will operate. The user is then prompted on the user interface to select how the selected speed is implemented. Alternatively, a list of possible implementations (predefined modes of operation) are displayed on the user interface from which the user can select the desired mode of operation.
