Abstract
An example server apparatus includes a video stream receiver configured to receive a first video stream encoded by a first coding scheme from a video providing apparatus via a network and a video stream generator configured to generate a second video stream obtained by converting a coding scheme of the first video stream from the first coding scheme to a second coding scheme. A client capability information acquirer is configured to acquire decoding capability information representing whether a client apparatus can decode a video image encoded by the first coding scheme and a video stream processing determiner is configured to transmit the first video stream to the client apparatus when the client apparatus can decode the video image encoded by the first coding scheme, and to transmit the second video stream to the client apparatus when the client apparatus cannot decode the video image encoded by the first coding scheme.
