Moving picture decoding device

摘要

A moving picture decoding device includes: unit (8) for successively receiving compressed digital picture data in a forward reproduction order; unit (13) for constantly storing the compressed picture data corresponding to a predetermined reproduction time period from a picture currently reproduced; unit (9) for producing reproduction pictures including intermediate pictures (P, B), in time, of the compressed picture data by picture predictions using the compressed picture data stored in the storing unit; unit (10) for designating output timings of the reproduction pictures; and unit (11, 12) for successively outputting the reproduction pictures at the output timings designated by the designating unit so as to form moving picture. When reverse order reproduction is instructed, the producing unit produces the reproduction pictures in an order reverse to the forward reproduction order and the outputting unit outputs the reproduction pictures in the reverse order. <IMAGE>
