Abstract:
1. An apparatus for reproducing a moving image according to a parental level, the apparatus comprising: a digital processor for digital-processing a video frame stream to detect frames; a parental level detector for determining whether a parental level is set in each detected frame, and when the parental level is set, for determining a frame sequence number of a frame to be reproduced next using a next frame sequence number set in the frame, and a user input unit for inputting a parental level by a user, wherein a header that is included in each of the detected frames includes a parental level field for indicating the parental level, and wherein the parental level detector compares the parental level set in the frame with the input parental level, and when the input parental level is equal to or lower than the parental level of the frame, determines the frame to be reproduced next using the next frame sequence number set in the frame.
