ENCODING APPARATUS OF VIDEO DATA AND SOUND DATA, ENCODING METHOD THEREOF, AND VIDEO EDITING SYSTEM

摘要

An encoding apparatus of video data and sound data is disclosed. An encoding apparatus 100 includes a hardware encoder 151 and a software encoder 152. The hardware encoder 151 is configured by hardware for encoding processing and encodes a part of AV data. The software encoder 152 encodes another part of the AV data using a CPU 10 in parallel with encoding processing of the hardware encoder 151. A data allocator 14 allocates the AV data to both the encoders 151 and 152. A synthesizer 16 synthesizes video data encoded by the respective encoders into a series of encoded video data by arranging the video data in a predetermined order. An output unit 17 outputs the series of encoded video data. The encoding apparatus 100 can perform encoding at a faster encoding processing speed than an encoding processing speed achieved only by the hardware encoder 151.
