Abstract

An apparatus and method for MPEG decoding are disclosed which control decoding without reference to the system time clock for a predetermined time period during a discontinuity of system time clock. Thus, an error caused by inconsistency between the system time clock and the time stamp due to delay of the video buffer is eliminated, thereby allowing normal decoding with A/V lip-synchronization.
