PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device/method/system for video distribution by which a viewer can watch desired at a desired time with a sufficient quality. SOLUTION: A video scheduler 105 in the video distribution device 100 holds a maximum number of user systems which can simultaneously be distributed and a maximum number of video titles which can simultaneously be distributed. When the present state of reservation is over the maximum number of the user systems and the maximum number of video titles, reservation from a personal computer is rejected. A charge for viewing is set to be low in the case of reserving a video title overlapped with that already reserved by another user and the charge is set to be high in the case of reserving a video title newly. |
