Abstract
A video/audio signal coding system which includes a video encoder for encoding a video signal into video data and attaching encoding information to the video data as a video header to create encoded video data, an audio encoder for encoding an audio signal into encoded audio data, a multiplexer for multiplexing and outputting the video and audio data, and a controller for controlling the multiplexer, and wherein the video encoder informs the controller of the video header and data indicative of a quantity of the encoded video data corresponding to one picture, the controller judges a break in the picture of the encoded video data input to the multiplexer, and the multiplexer multiplexes the encoded audio and video data on the basis of the judgement result of the controller, and a method implemented in the video/audio signal coding system.
