Exemplary embodiments include a method of generating a video reproduction
synchronizing signal to generate a video reproduction synchronizing
signal to reproduce video data and audio data in synchronization with
each other. The method includes acquiring output processing end timing
for output to an audio reproducing unit for one-frame equivalent audio
data that is equivalent to a display period for one frame of video data;
and generating the video reproduction synchronizing signal every time the
output processing end timing is acquired. According to the method of
generating a video reproduction synchronizing signal of the invention,
since a video reproduction synchronizing signal is generated from audio
data, it is possible to perform frame update for video data on the basis
of only resources of a timer for audio reproduction. This makes highly
accurate lip-sync possible and makes management of timer resources easy.
