Packet data processing determination apparatus

摘要

In a packet data processing determination apparatus (DBA 1 ) for respectively and sequentially determining a plurality of packet data (P) composing an inputted transport stream (TS), a packet data storage section ( 270 ) stores the packet data (P) for a predetermined time period in the order in which they came. A stored packet data identifying section ( 270, 260 ) reads identification information (PIDe) from the stored packet data (P). A target packet data determining section ( 400 ) compares the read identification information (PIDe) with predetermined process information (PIDd) to determine whether the packet data (P) is to be processed.
