Abstract:
1. In an editing apparatus which edits video data which have been compression-encoded using inter-frame compression, characterized in that the editing apparatus comprises: an input section to which a data stream composed of the video data that have been compression-encoded using the inter-frame compression is input; an extracting section which extracts identification information from the data stream, the identification information identifying a device which has created the data stream; a decoding section which decodes the data stream; an encoding section which encodes the video data with a predetermined attribute according to compression-encoding using the inter-frame compression; and an editing section which decodes and encodes the data stream based on an edit point that has been set to the data stream and edits the data stream based on the edit point, and the editing section determines whether or not the identification information extracted from the stream data by the extracting section represents a device which can encode the video data with an attribute identical to the predetermined attribute with which the encoding section encodes the data stream and when determined that the identification information represent the device, the editing section decodes and encodes a predetermined region including the edit point and edits the predetermined region.
