Abstract
In an encoding apparatus/method first information data which was variable length encoded is inputted, the first information data is variable length packetized by a plurality of data trains, second information data concerning the first information data is generated, and the variable length packetized first information data and the generated second information data are multiplexed to a plurality of packets of a fixed length. A packet length of the variable length packetized information train is detected, and a multiplexing process to the packets of the fixed length is controlled in accordance with the detection result. A computer readable recording medium contains an encoding program to execute the above processes.
