Abstract
A moving picture coding apparatus 1 includes a counter unit 102 which counts the number of pictures following an intra coded picture; and a motion estimation unit 101 which compares respectively only reference pictures which are the intra coded picture or the following pictures, selected from among a reference picture Ref1, a reference picture Ref2 and a reference picture Ref3 stored in memories 408˜410, with a picture signal Vin, and determines the reference picture whose inter picture differential value is smallest.

1-24. (canceled)
A recording medium on which multiplexed data is recorded, the multiplexed data obtained by multiplexing audio data and coded data of a coded moving picture,
- wherein the coded data includes an intra coded picture and an inter coded picture,
- for the inter coded picture, at least one of the following pictures is selected as a reference picture:
- the intra coded picture;
- a picture which is located before the intra coded picture in display order;
- and a picture located after the intra coded picture in display order,
- in the case where first information, which indicates that an intra coded picture is a specified picture used for restricting selection of the reference picture, is attached to the intra coded picture, an inter coded picture located after the specified picture in decoding order is coded by selecting, as the reference picture, at least one of the following pictures:
- the specified picture and a picture located after the specified picture in decoding order, and
- in the case where second information, which indicates that an intra coded picture is not the specified picture, is attached to the intra coded picture, an inter coded picture located after the intra coded picture that is not the specified picture is coded by selecting, as the reference picture, at least one of the following pictures:
- the intra coded picture that is not the specified picture, a picture located after the intra coded picture that is not the specified picture in decoding order, and a picture located before the intra coded picture that is not the specified picture in decoding order.
