Abstract
The present image reproduction apparatus stores one or a plurality of still pictures from a moving picture, and plays back the moving picture from a position of one still picture, in accordance with the selection of that still picture out of the stored one or plurality of still pictures. A display control part 4 sequentially takes still pictures from a moving picture read from a disk and being displayed on a monitor 6, at time points when an image storing button of a console panel 8 is pushed. The display control part 4 reduces the taken still pictures, and stores them in menu frame memory 7, while storing the positions of the taken still pictures in sector ID address memory 12. When a menu-display button is pushed, the reduced and stored images are displayed on the monitor 6 as a multi-screen image. Then, when a jump button is pushed and one still picture is selected in the multi-screen image, the sector ID address memory 12 is referred to, and the moving picture is read and displayed from the position of the selected still picture.
