A video encoding device equipped with: an analysis means that analyzes encoding statistics information; an estimation means that, on the basis of the analysis result from the analysis means, estimates whether it is possible to select an optimal motion vector near a slice boundary; and an encoding structure determination means that, on the basis of the estimation result from the estimation means, adaptively sets the encoding structure as a SOP structure formed only with pictures for which the temporal ID is 0, a SOP structure formed with pictures for which the temporal ID is 0 and pictures for which the temporal ID is 1, a SOP structure formed with pictures for which the temporal ID is 0, pictures for which the temporal ID is 1, and pictures for which the temporal ID is 2, or a SOP structure formed with pictures for which the temporal ID is 0, pictures for which the temporal ID is 1, pictures for which the temporal ID is 2, and pictures for which the temporal ID is 3. |
