摘要

Provided a motion picture processing apparatus ( 100 ) including: a single decoder ( 32 ) for motion picture processing and for successively decoding encoded image data inputted thereto; and a control unit ( 1, 11 ) for carrying out control, in response to an instruction for starting a recording operation issued while the decoding is performed by the decoder, to store (i) decoded image data which is completed to decode by the decoder first after the instruction, (ii) control information used to obtain the decoded image data through the decoding, and (iii) encoded image data that are inputted over a period of time after the instruction for starting the recording operation is issued until an instruction for terminating the recording operation is issued, and are held as motion picture bit stream data.
