An encoding apparatusincludes: an encoding unitthat encodes and multiplexes a video signal V, an audio signal Aand a data signal Dto be given to the encoding apparatus; a timerthat outputs time information T; a timer adjusting unitthat adjusts the timerso that the time information Tand time information Twithin a multiplexed stream Soutputted from an encoding apparatusare synchronized with each other; and a multiplexing unitthat multiplexes the multiplexed stream S, an encoded stream Soutputted from the encoding unitand the time information T, and outputs the resultant multiplexed stream and information as output of the encoding apparatus. Third and subsequent encoding apparatus are configured to have the same configuration as that of the encoding apparatus
