A bit rate converting apparatus suitable for a DVB-H signal which does not have a function of rewriting a PCR value comprises means (42) for receiving a TS signal of a DVB-H standard for storage in accordance with a first bit rate, means (46) for sequentially generating NULL packets in accordance with a second bit rate, and means (45) for outputting a packet which forms part of the stored TS signal from the means (42) and the NULL packet from the means (46) in accordance with the second bit rate. The apparatus may further comprise means (51) for receiving the TS signal of the DVB-H standard to remove NULL packets from the TS signal. Alternatively, the apparatus may further comprise means (61) for receiving the TS signal of the DVB-H standard to pass only a packet representative of a program which constitutes the TS signal, and a PSI/SI packet. |
