Abstract: When an image is displayed on a material administration browser, a story board window and a time line window based on material data, the editing image display is controlled to display items of the material data that is combined with the frame rate information as the associated information and not combined with the frame rate information as the associated information with the items of the material data being distinguished from each other. When the material data is combined with the frame rate information as the associated information, a speed range available for reproduction of said material data is displayed based on the frame rate information. A console indication in variable speeds for indicating a reproduction speed or for altering the reproduction speed within the speed range available for reproduction is provided. Thus, reproduced image may be displayed on material image representation at set reproduction speed.

Abstract: Transmit data composed by linking to main data representing an image and/or audio accessory information including frame rate information and frame identification information of each frame included in a reference frame period is generated and output.

Abstract: An encoding method of losslessly encoding picture data is disclosed. The picture data are composed of pixel data. The pixel data whose number of quantizer bits is larger than eight bits are separated into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is composed of eight bits on an LSB side. The second portion is composed of remaining bits on an MSB side excluding the first portion. A first encoding process is losslessly performed for the first portion. A second encoding process is losslessly performed for the second portion. The second encoding process is different from the first encoding process.
