Abstract

In an information processing apparatus, while broadcast content is secondarily used, an advertising video can be certainly viewed. Broadcast reception recorders receive broadcast content broadcast by a broadcasting apparatus and record it in built-in hard disk drives. A user of the broadcast reception recorders edits the received broadcast content, and registers meta-data corresponding to the edits in a video database of a server through a network. A user of the broadcast reception recorders receives the meta-data registered by the other user from the server through the network, and reproduces the broadcast content on the basis of the meta-data. An advertising video is added to the meta-data transmitted from the video database.
