<p>An apparatus and method for transferring digital versatile disc (DVD) information is provided. This apparatus includes a stream format converter for providing a first stream by converting the program stream format of audio and video information read from the DVD into a transport stream format. A re-encoder is included, for providing a second stream by overlaying video information read from the disc with subpicture information read from the DVD and re-encoding the overlaid information using a predetermined compression encoding scheme for image information. A stream selector is included, for selecting either the first or second stream according to the requirements of a user, the bandwidth of a transmission channel, and the information processing capability of an apparatus for receiving information, and transferring a selected stream to the apparatus for receiving information via a transmission channel. Accordingly, information obtained using a selected optimal transfer method, that is, MPEG-2 full re-encoding, MPEG-2 I picture re-encoding, DV format re-encoding, or conversion of information stored in an original DVD into an MPEG-2 TS packet, is transferred. Therefore, even if DVD information is transferred to any apparatus, it can be viewed.</p> |
