VIDEO ENCODING DEVICE AND VIDEO ENCODING METHOD

摘要

A video encoding device, in the case where a video of the progressive format is inputted, processes a frame as a picture, in the case where a video of the interlace format is inputted, processes a field as a picture. A video encoding device performs a common encoding process without depending on a video format regarding encoding on picture data. A video encoding device generates code string corresponding to a format of the both video by generating display control information corresponding to a format of the video and describing the display control information in the code string in display control information generator. The display control information includes sequence unit display control information and picture unit display control information, the sequence unit display control information being commonly used in a display process of all pictures that belong to a sequence to be decoded and the picture unit display control information being individually used in a display process of a picture to be decoded. A second code string generator stores each of the sequence unit display control information and the picture unit display control information in an extended information area generated in units of pictures.
