  • Publication number: 20150264297
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit to acquire movie data, including video data and audio data, stored in a given storage area, a separator to separate the video data and the audio data of the movie data acquired by the acquisition unit, a determination unit to determine whether the movie data acquired by the acquisition unit is replayable by conducting at least one of a first process and a second process. In the first process, the determination unit determines whether the movie data is replayable by comparing time information attached to the video data and time information attached to the audio data separated by the separator. In the second process, the determination unit determines whether the movie data is replayable by checking whether the separator correctly separates the video data and the audio data from the start to the end of movie data.
