Abstract: A transmitting party adds reproduction time information to each transport packet to form an extended transport packet, encapsulates the extended transport packet, adds capsule counter information, and transmits the capsule. A receiving party has a storage means, and transmits a re-send request including the capsule count information to the transmitting party when a packet loss occurs. At the receiving party, the re-sent data received overwrites data in its original storage region. At reproduction, the receiving party decodes the data after compensating for jitter referring to reproduction time information. Accordingly, a packet loss or jitter is compensated for at both transmitting and receiving parties in a communications network such as the Internet so as to prevent the occurrence of a decoding error at the receiving party.

Abstract: In a recording/reproducing system RRS1, an I-picture detecting section 15 generates, from a transport stream DETS output from a descrambler 13, a control signal CS indicating a bit location of a TS packet including a part of an I picture for output. Based on the control signal CS, a TS header processing section 16 specifies a TS header added to a payload of an I picture from the transport stream TS, and changes a value of a reserved bit in the TS header from 0 to 1. In high-speed replay, a storage unit SU1 refers to the reserved bit of the TS header to select only an I-picture transport packet required for high-speed replay, and composes a transport stream PRTS for transmission to a decode unit DU1. Thus, high-speed replay can be easily achieved.
