video cassette recorder/player. A transcript of the deposition
is also maintained in software form in the computer. When a
videotaped deposition is initially processed by the video
transcript retriever, a timecode numerical address or designation
control signal from the timecode generator/reader is recorded
onto the control track 56 (Figure 4A) of the videotape. As seen
in Figure 4A, the timecode numerical address signals 58a through
58e are located at intervals of 1/30 of a second along control
track 56. Once the control track 56 has been recorded on the
videotape, a numerical designation for each segment of the tape
corresponding to the beginning of each deposition question is
transferred from the software controlling the timecode
generator/reader and videocassette recorder/player to the
software containing the deposition transcript and correlated
therewith. As illustrated in Figure 4B, for example, the mark 62
adjacent to the question Q on the software version of the
deposition transcript corresponds to one of the timecode
numerical addresses 58a through 58e on control track 56. In
order to display a specific question and answer on the videotape,
the software version of the deposition transcript is searched for
the key words of the desired question and answer. When the
desired question and answer is located on the software version of
