Method and an apparatus for encoding video data for seamless connection using flags to indicate top or bottom of field and whether a field is presented plural times

摘要: A signal conversion recording method applies a whereby video converted to frame rate greater than the of source by repeating particular fields plural times is an intermediate having substantially equal original deleting these repeated redundant fields. This compression coded obtain signal, and recorded medium together with repeat first field flag RFF declaring whether was deleted, top TFF which two in each resulting frames on time-base, wherein when logical periods are provided single medium, so that flags hold values at start end period.
