摘要

A bitstream conversion apparatus for converting a bitstream of a first format, containing content data, into a bitstream of a second format includes: a splitting unit which splits the bitstream of the first format in time sequential fashion into a plurality of split bitstreams of the first format; a plurality of conversion units which convert the plurality of split bitstreams of the first format into a plurality of split bitstreams of the second format; and a connecting unit which connects the plurality of split bitstreams of the second format to one another.
