Apparatus for video recording and reproducing, and method for trick play of video

A method of reproducing video in a video recording and reproducing apparatus which includes a recorded data storage unit that stores recorded data containing at least motion picture data, a recording and reproducing controller which reads recorded data from the recorded data storage unit, and a controller which controls the recording and reproducing controller,

• when executing special reproduction of the recorded data stored in the recorded data storage, which contains no position information of I-picture,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• reading, by the recording and reproducing controller, a predetermined amount of recorded data from the recorded data storage unit;
• detecting, by the recording and reproducing controller, I-picture start information and end information in MPEG-formatted motion picture data from the predetermined amount of recorded data;
• and
• discarding, by the recording and reproducing controller, residual data upon detecting both of the I-picture start information and the end information at a time, and wherein
• the predetermined amount of recorded data read by the recording and reproducing controller is sufficient for storing at least one I-picture, and is a part of the recorded data stored in the recorded data storage unit.
