VIDEO REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a viewer terminal for continuously performing rewinding reproduction, the viewer terminal generating a frame image from video data on the basis of a motion compensation predicting technology and reproducing and displaying the frame image. SOLUTION: A decoder 209 generates the frame image from externally acquired video data, stores the frame image to an image buffer 210, and a GUI section 212 reads the frame image from the image buffer 210 and displays the frame image. A control section 208 reproduces and displays the frame image at an ordinary speed and leaves a newest consecutive frame image and older discontinuous frame images as its control. Further, in the case of the rewinding reproduction, the control section 208 controls execution of operations for applying rewinding reproduction display to the newest consecutive frame image and operations of acquiring video data consecutive to one of the discontinuous frame images in parallel in order to realize the rewinding reproduction of the consecutive frame image.
