<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform encoding so that buffer failure does not occur. <P>SOLUTION: Information, such as a minimum bit rate, a minimum buffer size, and a minimum initial delay time, is contained in a random access point header contained in an accessible point in a bitstream. A bitstream analyzing unit 72 analyzes an input bitstream, sets the information, and outputs the resulting information to a buffer-information adding unit 73. The buffer-information adding unit 73 adds the input information to the input bitstream and outputs the resulting bitstream. The present invention is applicable to an encoding device which processes bitstreams. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
