Abstract
Coding bit rate converting method and apparatus for coded audio data are disclosed to convert input coded audio data to output coded data of a coding bit rate lower than a target coding bit rate. A control output is taken out when the frame size of the input coded audio data is larger than the frame size determined by the target coding bit rate, and the output coded data is provided as a converted output by controlling parameters defining the frame size of the input coded audio data by the use of the control output in a predetermined procedure until the frame size of the input coded audio data becomes smaller than the frame size determined by the target coding bit rate.
