Abstract:
1. An MPEG picture data reproducing apparatus for reproducing MPEG picture data as a picture data encoded according to the MPEG encoding system, the MPEG picture data reproducing apparatus comprising: connectively reproducing means for obtaining a connection section re-encoded data that has been encoded according to an MPEG encoding system as a data for reproducing two MPEG picture data of a first MPEG picture data and a second MPEG picture data by connecting the first MPEG picture data to the second MPEG picture data at specified connection positions specified in the respective MPEG picture data, and then connectively reproducing the first MPEG picture data and the second MPEG picture data, wherein the connection section re-encoded data is re-encoded data generated by re-encoding the connection section decoded picture data as a picture data obtained by decoding the first MPEG picture data in the connection section, according to the MPEG encoding system, by executing the re-encoding while controlling the amount of code such that a transition of the information value relating to the VBV buffer occupation value at the time of the re-encoding starts from the information value relating to the VBV buffer occupation value at the time of encoding the first MPEG picture data at a position corresponding to a starting position of the connection section and ends with the information value relating to the VBV buffer occupation value at the time of encoding the second MPEG picture data at a position corresponding to the specified connection position in the second MPEG picture data, wherein the connection section is a section from a position located a predetermined time before the specified connection position in the first MPEG picture data as the starting position to the specified connection position in the first MPEG picture data as an end position, and the connectively reproducing means reproduces the first MPEG picture data to the starting position of the connection section, and then reproduces the connection section re-encoded data from the starting position of the connection section to the end position thereof, and then reproduces the second MPEG picture data from the specified connection position in the second MPEG picture.
