Abstract:
A motion picture playback apparatus that achieves a more effective playback in slow motion is disclosed. The motion picture playback apparatus includes a read-out section for reading out a motion picture stream from a recording medium that records the motion picture stream containing a motion picture stretch formed of a group of frames shot at 1/N times speed, and a processing section for providing the group of frames with a frame interpolation process in the case of playing back the read-out motion picture stream, and playing back the group of frames at a speed slower than the 1/N times speed when the motion picture stretch in the motion picture stream is played back.
