Abstract
When MPEG streams are connected, audio data is connected without losing continuity, so that playback data which is not unnatural is obtained. In a case where data of videos of a stream is connected to immediately after another video of another stream and these are edited to create still another stream, if a soundless portion occurs, or if an audio is directly connected to another audio and the audio data leads the video data, unnatural playback data results. Therefore, by inserting still another audio, as audio data at the connection point of the still another stream, corresponding to the video to be erased between the still another audio and still another audio, playback data which is not unnatural can be obtained.
