Patent ID: 8086087

Claim:
An information processing device that decodes a multiplexed stream which includes a data stream constituted by a plurality of source packets each having a transport packet and arrival time stamp, and in which a second picture, which is the first picture of a second multiplexed stream, is connected to a first picture, which is the last picture of a first multiplexed stream so as to be reproduced seamlessly, comprising: output means for outputting the source packets according to the arrival time stamp of the first multiplexed stream; a video buffer for buffering video data included in the source packets; an audio buffer for buffering audio data included in the source packets; video decoding means for decoding the video data buffered in the video buffer; and audio decoding means for decoding the audio data buffered in the audio buffer, wherein the audio buffer having a capacity capable of buffering the audio data corresponding to the time required for inputting the second picture to the video buffer, said capacity being less than an additional one second of buffer capacity required to accommodate a maximum bit rate when an arrival time stamp is ignored, and the output means continues to output the source packets according to the arrival time stamp of the first multiplexed stream between a time T 1 and a time T 2 , T 1 being a time at which a last video packet of the first picture of the first multiplexed stream arrives at the video buffer and T 2 being a time at which a last byte is input of remaining packets of the first multiplexed stream, and after time T 2 the output stream outputs source packets according to an arrival time stamp of the second multiplexed stream.
