A transfer apparatus detects first time adjustment information from a first transport stream (TS) packet included in an MPEG-2 transport stream, and detects second time adjustment information from a second TS packet included in the MPEG-2 transport stream. The transfer apparatus calculates a time interval between the first time adjustment information and the second time adjustment information. The transfer apparatus performs a recalculation to change the calculated time interval to a recalculated time interval. The transfer apparatus calculates transmission timing of the first TS packet and TS packets between the first and second TS packets, in accordance with the recalculated time interval. The transfer apparatus transfers the first TS packet and the TS packets between the first and second TS packets, in accordance with the calculated transmission timing.
