Abstract
When the content data recorded in the server deviceis reproduced in the client devicethrough communication, the contents transmitting system shorten the time to reproduction of content data in reply to a reproduction request from the client device. In order to shorten the time up to the reproduction, in the server device, a start portion of the content data for an arbitrary time is prepared, which is encoded at a different rate from the encode rate of the content data as for the transmission bandwidth at the previous reproduction of the content data, and it is transmitted to the client deviceand reproduced at the reproduction starting time. At the time of transmitting the content data, the server devicetransmits the initial portion of the content data while encoding it for an arbitrary time at real time at a different encode rate as mentioned above, and client devicereproduces it.
