Abstract
Abstract A separation circuit for separating input unit data into individual sound streams; a separation circuit for separating each sound frame of the separated sound streams into a sound frame of main audio and a sound frame of multi-lingual audio; a main selection circuit for selecting one frame from a plurality of the separated main audio sound frames; a multi-lingual selection circuit for selecting one frame from a plurality of the separated multi-lingual sound frames; and a sound frame synthesis circuit for packing each sound frame selected in each of the selection circuit into a frame structure of MPEG2 audio.
