<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motion picture encoder generating a plurality of seamlessly reproducible streams and generating a stream not causing underflow of the buffer in a decoder. <P>SOLUTION: When a subsequent stream is generated such that a preceding stream and the subsequent stream multiplexing an image stream and other information are reproduced seamlessly, the motion picture encoder 100 controls encoding depending on the amount of occupation of a virtual buffer specified by the amount of code generated and the amount of code transferred to the destination. When the initial value of the amount of virtual buffer is determined for the subsequent stream, the initial value is determined using a delay incident to multiplexing in addition to the last amount of virtual buffer for the preceding stream. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
