Abstract
There is provided a packet processing device for, when decoding variable length data that is split into packets, realizing a reduction in processing load at a decoder, by providing information for identifying a start position of the data. A header analyzing section () determines whether data stored in a packet is start data containing start information or other data. A data extracting section () extracts data from a packet and stores the data in a buffer (). A buffer controlling section () causes a start position memory () and a number-of-starts counter () to retain an address position and the number of start data stored in the buffer (). A decode section () refers to the start position memory () and the number-of-starts counter () and executes a decode process for the data stored in the buffer ().
