  • Patent number: 8345760
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that decodes a coded stream includes a memory storing the coded stream, a decoder generating image data by decoding the coded stream stored in the memory, a memory-transfer controller controlling transfer so that the coded stream is transferred to the memory prior to timing for outputting the image data, and a decoding controller controlling decoding by the decoder so that, in the coded stream stored in the memory, a reference picture that is referred to in picture decoding is preferentially decoded.

  • Publication number: 20070286244
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus controls first and second coded streams to be output in a form in which the first and second coded streams are connected to each other. The apparatus includes an operation-input acquiring unit for acquiring an operation input representing a playback portion of both coded streams to be played back, a storage unit for storing coded streams including both coded streams, a transfer-control unit for controlling transfer, to the storage unit, of portions of both coded streams for the operation input acquired by the operation-input acquiring unit, a coded stream necessary for decoding the portions of both coded streams for the acquired operation input, a decoding unit for decoding both coded streams stored in the storage unit to generate image data, and a commanding unit for commanding an image-data output time at which the image data generated by the decoding unit is output.
