METHOD FOR ENCODING VIDEO/VOICE, DEVICE THEREFOR AND MEDIUM FOR RECORDING CODED PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly set an encoding parameter corresponding to the basic capability of a computer by determining the encoding parameter based on at least one of resolution, frame rate, and encoding parameter influencing processing performance. SOLUTION: This device is provided with an encoding means 101 and an encoding parameter decision means 102 including a resolution reference table 110. The encoding parameter decision means 102 determines resolution by using the included resolution reference table 110 from a designated frame rate and an encoding pattern, and outputs the encoding parameter including a parameter indicating the determined resolution to the encoding means 101. The encoding means 101 operates an encoding processing according to the encoding parameter so that encoding with higher resolution can be attained while satisfying a requested condition. The encoding pattern can be determined corresponding to the designated resolution by using the similar reference table.
