Abstract

The present invention relates to an editing apparatus and an editing method for editing a plurality of files, which is recorded on a storage part and corresponds to one shot. The editing method includes a determination step of determining a generation order in time sequence of a plurality of files which correspond to one shot and include interframe coded data; and integration step of arranging the plurality of files in the generation order and integrating the arranged files. The editing method may further include a displaying step of displaying one clip corresponding to the integrated files, and editing step of editing the clip.

Claims

1. An editing apparatus comprising:

a determination unit for determining a generation order in time sequence of each of a plurality of files, corresponding to one shot, and including encoded interframe data;

an integration unit for arranging the plurality of files in the generation order and for integrating the plurality of files so as to enable a user to edit the integrated plurality of files as a single file; and

a decoder for decoding the plurality of files provided in the determined order, wherein the decoder is not initialized at a boundary of a series of a first and second files of the plurality of files, if a first interframe data in the first file refers a second interframe data in the second file for decoding.

3. An editing apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising a reception unit for displaying the integrated files as one clip and to accept editing of the clip.

6. An editing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines the generation order based on each filename of the plurality of files.

7. An editing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit obtains information indicating a total number or a total recording time of the plurality of files, and the integration unit integrates the plurality of files when the obtained information meets the determination result made by the determination unit.

2. (canceled)

4. (canceled)

5. (canceled)

8. An editing method comprising the steps of:

determining a generation order in time sequence of each of a plurality of files, corresponding to one shot, and including encoded interframe data; and

integrating the plurality of files by arranging the plurality of files in the determined order so as to enable a user to edit the integrated plurality of files as a single file; and

decoding, in a decoder, the plurality of files provided in the determined order, wherein the decoder is not initialized at a boundary of a series of a first and second files of the plurality of files, if a first interframe data in the first file refers a second interframe data in the second file for decoding.

9. An editing method according to claim 8, further comprising the steps of:

displaying the integrated files as one clip to enable a user to edit the integrated files as one clip.

10. (canceled)

11. A computer readable medium on which is recorded an editing program for causing a computer to execute the steps of:

determining a generation order in time sequence of each of a plurality of files, corresponding to one shot, and including encoded interframe data; and

integrating the plurality of files by arranging the plurality of files in the determined order so as to enable a user to edit the integrated plurality of files as a single file; and

decoding, in a decoder, the plurality of files provided in the determined order, wherein the decoder is not initialized at a boundary of a series of a first and second files of the plurality of files, if a first interframe data in the first file refers a second interframe data in the second file for decoding.
