Abstract
In a decoding/displaying device, the memory capacity or mapping to B pictures is set in consideration of a decoding waiting period, thereby avoiding the competition between a write-in operation and a read-out operation for a memory. Therefore, the decoding operation of coded picture data can be performed with no decoding waiting period.
