Patent ID: 8244094

Claim:
Method for replaying together a video signal and one or more audio signals related to audio/video data that are based on 24Hz video frame frequency for said video signal and an audio signal speed corresponding to said 24Hz frame frequency, said method comprising the steps: if said video signal is to be presented corresponding to said 24Hz frame frequency, processing said video and audio data corresponding to said 24Hz frame frequency for the common presentation; if said video signal is to be presented corresponding to a 60Hz or nearly 60Hz field frequency, processing said audio data with a speed corresponding to 24Hz or nearly 24Hz frame frequency for the common presentation, and processing said video data corresponding to a 60Hz or nearly 60Hz field frequency using a 3:2 pull-down for the common presentation; if said video signal is to be presented corresponding to a 50Hz or nearly 50Hz field frequency, when processing said audio data and said video data for the presentation, adaptively dropping audio signal frames and/or adaptively repeating video fields or frames, said dropping and/or repeating depending on the current content of said video and audio signals such that the signal where a dropping or a repeating, respectively, is more perceptible controls the synchronization between said video and audio signals for the common presentation, wherein, for specific scene parts, instead of the corresponding sequence of pictures to be used for said 24Hz frame frequency or said 60Hz or nearly 60Hz field frequency presentation, a corresponding additional sequence of pictures specifically available for said 50Hz or nearly 50Hz field frequency presentation of said audio/video data is used for said presentation but the corresponding sequence of pictures for said 24Hz frame frequency or said 60Hz or nearly 60Hz field frequency presentation is not used.
