Claims (7)

1. An image converting apparatus comprising:

a memory which can store frame information of an image to be played;

an image processing section which can read frame information from the memory and convert the frame rate to a predetermined frame rate in response to a predetermined state and in accordance with the play state; and

a processing engine having a calculation function for increasing or reducing the size of an image to an arbitrary size and creating a new pixel from multiple original images stored in the memory,

wherein the image processing section creates a new frame based on the processing result by the processing engine and changes the frame rate of images within a predetermined period of time,

wherein the processing engine calculates a new motion vector from motion vector information stored in the memory; and

the image processing section creates a new frame based on the new motion vector.
