Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided including a first display control unit for controlling display of an area to which to paste an image representing a content and selected to start reproduction of the content. A second display control unit displays a list of images when a display instruction to display the list of the images is given. Under control of the first display control unit, one screen including a different number of layers according to a category of data created in the area to which to paste the image is displayed in the area.

Abstract: A moving picture reproducing apparatus reproduces a moving picture file including different picture formats at a high speed. A parameter setting unit sets the number of frame ? to be displayed per a unit time, a reproduction speed ratio ?, a bit rate ? (?, ?, and ? are real numbers). A seek distance setting unit sets a seek distance SD according to a value given by ?/?×?. An intra-frame encoded picture searching unit starts a search for a next intra-frame encoded picture at a search start position. A decoder decodes an intra-frame encoded picture found as a result of the search by the intra-frame encoded picture searching unit. The intra-frame encoded picture searching unit sets a data position ahead of a data position of the intra-frame encoded picture found by the seek distance, as a search start position to start searching for a next intra-frame encoded picture.
