20080285647	Picture processing apparatus, picture processing method, picture processing program and recording medium - Occurrence of mosquito noise of a macro block that contains even a small plain region is suppressed. One macro block is subdivided into sub blocks each of which is composed of four pixels×four lines. The average value of luminance levels of each sub block is calculated. The absolute values of the difference values between the luminance levels and the average value are obtained for each sub block. The minimum value of the average difference values of the 16 sub blocks of one macro block is selected and decided as an activity of the macro block. Corresponding to the decided activity, a quantizer scale of the macro block is decided. With the decided quantizer scale, the macro block is quantized. According to this method, since the size of each sub block is smaller than the size of a conventional sub block of eight pixels×eight lines, the average difference value of each sub block is more emphasized. Since the minimum value of the average difference values is designated as an activity of the macro block, an activity of a macro block that contains even a small plain portion can be more suppressed. As a result, a quantizer value of a macro block that contains an edge can be decreased. Thus, mosquito noise of a macro block that contains an edge portion of a picture can be suppressed.	11-20-2008

20090207704	Recording apparatus, server apparatus, recording method, program, and storage medium - A data recording apparatus recording data of a CD on an HDD in a manner such that the content of record in the CD is faithfully accounted for and shortening an operation time for a synchronized ripping operation. When the data recording apparatus reads, from the CD, track data managed by track, according to TOC, and records the track data onto the HDD, the data recording apparatus recognizes data unrecorded on the HDD, from among the track data recorded on the CD. This recognition process is automatically performed based on the TOC read from the CD, and album information replayed using the TOC and held by the HDD. The recording apparatus reproduces and outputs only the unrecorded data from the CD based on the recognition result concerning the unrecorded data. In this way, the data already recorded on the HDD is not transferred from the CD to the HDD. The operation time for the synchronized ripping operation is reduced accordingly.	08-20-2009
