A moving image reproducing apparatus (10) includes a video encoder (18). The video encoder (18) reproduces a moving image including a partial moving image having a frame rate different from a reference frame rate at the reference frame rate. A CPU (26) calculates a difference value between a first frame count required to reproduce the partial moving image in real time and a second frame count obtained by performing periodic frame interpolation processing on the partial moving image. The CPU (26) dispersively executes frame thinning-out processing on the moving image at the number of times corresponding to the calculated difference value. The CPU (26) further executes frame interpolation processing on the partial moving image at the number of times corresponding to the second frame count.
