An information reproducing apparatus reproduces one type of information
(for example, video information) in synchronous with a plurality of
channels of other type of information (for example, audio information)
with high copyright protection, and includes a decryption section that
decrypts multiplexed stream reproduced from a recording medium, a stream
analyzer that analyzes the multiplexed stream which is decrypted to
detect first information (video information) contained in the multiplexed
stream, a stream conversion section that alters the first information
contained in the multiplexed stream which is decrypted, based on an
analysis result by the analyzer. The multiplexed stream with altered
video information is distributed to second to n-th stream decoders (for
example, for achieving a multilingual system).
