Optical disc, optical disc recording method and apparatus, and optical disc reproducing method and apparatus

An optical disc that is reproducible by a reproducing apparatus has a still picture data and an audio data which are reproduced simultaneously. The still picture data is stored in a video part stream (ST1) comprising a plurality of units, and the audio data is stored in a second system stream (ST2) comprising one or a plurality of units. The units store time stamp information so that the second system stream (ST2) follows immediately after the video part stream (ST1). By changing the data in the second system stream (ST2), the audio data presented with a still picture can be freely and easily changed even after recording the still picture data using an MPEG standard format.

Coding system and its method, coding device and its method, decoding device and its method, recording device and its method, and reproducing device and its method

The present invention relates to a transcoder for executing a re-coding process on an encoded stream generated based on an MPEG standard in order to generate a re-coded stream having a different GOP (Group of Pictures) structure or bit rate.Specifically, a decoding device of a transcoder 106 decodes a source encoded stream to generate decoded video data and extracts past coding parameters superposed in the encoded stream as history_stream( ). In this case, the decoding device extracts the past coding parameters based on information superposed in the encoded stream as re_coding_stream_info( ).An encoding device receives the decoded video data and the past coding parameters and uses the past coding parameters to carry out an encoding process in a manner such that this process will not degrade image quality, thereby generating a re-coded stream. Further, the encoding device selects one of the past coding parameters which are optimal for an application connectively following the encoding device and describes only the selected past coding parameters in the encoded stream as history_stream( ). The encoding device superposes, as re_coding_stream_info( ), information indicating the selected past coding parameters so that the following application can properly extract the coding parameters for the history_stream( ) from the re-coded stream.

Motion vector detection with local motion estimator

A method and apparatus of encoding digital video, for example according to the ISO / IEC MPEG standards (ISO / IEC 11172-2 MPEG-1 and ISO / IEC 13818-2 MPEG-2), which employs a local motion estimator for determining respective local motion vectors for groups of adjacent macroblocks in a picture. A local motion vector is determined for each row of macroblocks in a picture from the motion vectors of the macroblocks in that row. Then, for macroblocks in the corresponding row of a subsequently coded picture, the local motion vector can be used to select the search window used for determining the motion vectors. The local motion estimator improves search range and accuracy of macroblock motion vector detection without increasing the search window accessing bandwidth and caching requirement, and computation lode of searching.

System and associated method for transcoding discrete cosine transform coded signals

A method is provided for transcoding between video signals in two standards, DV and MPEG-2, each standard including discrete cosine transform (DCT) compressed signals. The each of the signals have macroblocks containing a plurality of DCT blocks. The DCT blocks are quantized according to respective quantization methods defined by the standards. The coefficients in each block are zigzag scanned, run-length coded and variable-length coded. The process variable-length decodes the coefficients and translates the quantized coefficients in the DV standard into quantized coefficients in the MPEG standard without fully dequantizing at least some of the DV coefficients and without performing an inverse DCT operation on any of the DCT coefficients. DV blocks that are encoded in a 248 format are translated into an 88 format before they are converted to MPEG-2 blocks. A method for transcoding from MPEG-2 to DV is also described. The MPEG-2 signals are intra-frame encoded, have a 4:2:2 chrominance format and an 88 frame-encoded block format. According to this method, converted 88 DV blocks that represent significant intra-field motion are converted from the 88 format to a 248 format. The method also controls which overflow coefficients in the DV signal are transcoded into corresponding coefficients in the MPEG-2 signal to control the data rate of the MPEG-2 signal.

Method for secure delivery of digital content

Methods and apparatus for the secure and copy-proof distribution of digital content are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention cryptographic primitives (encryption algorithms, message-authentication codes, hash functions, random-number generators, etc.) are used in a novel security protocol. The invention may be utilized to protect a first-run movie that has been digitized in accordance with one of the current or forthcoming MPEG standards (e.g., MPEG-7). Content receivers or users first register their boxes. This registration information is stored in a secure database. When a subscriber registers, he then receives a box (interface to his player) that has been initialized to contain a number of tamper-proof secrets that are shared between the station and that particular box. The station stores an encrypted version of the digital content. This encrypted version ultimately arrives at some unprotected storage medium local to the player. Upon demand, the station delivers to the box the use-once computational ability to decrypt the content and display it on the player or terminal.
