Abstract: Provided is an encoding/transmitting apparatus used to transmit moving-picture data from a transmitting side to a receiving side and to subject the moving-picture data to streaming in the receiving side. The apparatus has an external-output request determining unit that monitors a state of a network. If the network assumes an undesirable state, a multiplex output unit stops multiplexing data. When the network assumes a good state, the multiplex output unit starts multiplexing the data again. A video encoding unit and an audio encoding unit keep encoding data, whether the multiplex output unit is multiplexing data or not. When the area occupied by encoded data in an encoded-video-data storage unit and the area occupied by encoded data in an encoded-audio-data storage unit exceed a predetermined value, the video encoding unit and audio encoding unit stop encoding data, and wait until the area occupied by encoded data sufficiently decreases.

Abstract: A multiplexing system (10) is provided which includes a plurality of encoders (12-15) which generates elementary streams, respectively, CPU (16), multiplexer (17), instruction memory (18), and a data memory (19) which stores a plurality of elementary data to be multiplexed. Each of the encoders (12-15) divides elementary data into units, and stores the data into the data memory (19). The CPU (16) generates, for each of the data units, instruction data having stated therein a storage location in the data memory (19) and stores the instruction data into the instruction memory (18). The multiplexer (17) reads the instruction data one by one from the instruction memory (18), and reads data units stated in the instruction data sequentially from the data memory (19), for generation of a multiplexed stream. Thus, the burden of processing to the controller can be lessened.
