Abstract

In a moving picture managing device, a boundary sensor senses the boundary between a cut of the input moving picture consisting of a plurality of frames and another cut on the basis of the difference in the number of blocks at the time of encoding the moving picture for a frame between the frame and an adjacent frame. Based on the boundaries sensed at the boundary sensor, the moving picture is filed in cuts. The moving picture is processed so as to be stored in a memory in a tree structure fashion in which the moving picture is composed of scenes and a plurality of cuts, each scene consisting of cuts. The filing is managed in cuts under the tree structure.
