Abstract
There is provided a multimedia information encoding apparatus and a multimedia information reproducing apparatus which enables synchronzied reproduction of multimedia information such as audio data, video data, and text data and performance information such as MIDI data to be easily performed. The multimedia information encoding apparatus creates multimedia encoded data comprising data packets each having a header section that contains information on reproduction timing, and a data section that at least contains information to be reproduced based on performance information including event information. The event information is converted into corresponding text codes, and the text codes obtained by the conversion are stored as script data in the data sections of the data packets that correspond in reproduction timing to the text codes, and multimedia encoded data in which the data sections contain the event information converted into the text codes is created.
