MOVING PICTURE ENCODING DEVICE, MOVING PICTURE ENCODING METHOD, AND MOVING PICTURE ENCODING COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A moving picture encoding device for dividing moving picture data into a plurality of sets of sub-data, encoding each of the sets of sub-data in parallel by using a plurality of encoders, and then combining each of the sets of encoded sub-bit stream data into one bit stream is provided with a convergence target derivation function of determining the target value of a first occupation amount so that the first occupation amount at the point in time at which the data equivalent to the last picture included in a first sub-bit stream is taken out from a first virtual buffer becomes not less than a second occupation amount of a second virtual buffer occupied by second sub-bit stream data at the point in time.
