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.
