PROGRAM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A PLURALITY OF CONTENTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology of automatically synchronizing video and music contents such as moving pictures acquired from the Internet and video and music contents such as moving pictures recorded by a computer with each other and furthermore synchronizing all or parts of contents from an optional point of time even when the optional point of time is set after start of the synchronization.

SOLUTION: Media information being one or a plurality of combinations of video and music or the like is produced, and media related information with respect to the order of video and music of each media information, a display time, and a play time is produced. An arithmetic section of the computer classifies the media information into front media information and back media information. The arithmetic section displays or plays the front media information and calculates a point of time of desirable synchronization on the basis of the media related information or the like. The arithmetic section starts buffering of each back media information before the point of desirable synchronization time and pauses the back media information at a point of the desirable synchronization time after the end of the buffering. The arithmetic section displays or plays each back media information at a point of the desirable synchronization time at the same time.
