Abstract
A video-on-demand system divides compressed image data of a video program into image data sections with a predetermined length and stores them in one of a series of storage media in order of reproduction, returning to a first storage medium in the series after reaching a final storage medium in the series, along a story of the video program. The image data sections stored in the storage media are read by time sharing and the original images are reproduced and displayed.
