<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an encoding device, method and program, for quickly obtaining encoded data whose picture quality is high. <P>SOLUTION: When encoding image data into encoded data configured of a plurality of layers satisfying prescribed specifications by using a virtual buffer in which the buffer state of a decoding device is virtually modeled, if a bit rate difference between NAL and VCL is equal to or less than a threshold, the image data is encoded into encoded data satisfying prescribed specifications based on NAL conditions under which the data size of an access unit is the largest. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
