MOVING PICTURE COMPRESSION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION OF SAME

摘要

In principle, an I-frame is inserted every 50 frames and other frames are made P-frames. If the maximum amount of data that can be received by a terminal device to which a transmission is to be made is 300 KB, then frames up to a 144^th frame for which the amount of data after compression will not exceed 300 KB is adopted as a first partitioned moving picture file. Since the 145^th frame is the leading frame of the next partitioned moving picture file, it is made an I-frame. Frames from the 145^th frame to a 289^th frame are made a second partitioned moving picture file, and frames from a 290^th frame to a 411^th frame are made a third partitioned moving picture file. Since the leading frame of a partitioned moving picture file represents one complete frame, the moving picture can be reproduced and the number of partitions can be reduced.
