| 1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a network connecting unit configured to make network connection with a client;
a storage unit which stores compressed and encoded content;
a transcoding unit configured to convert the content stored in the storage unit to content compressed and encoded in a different
format for the client connected via the network connecting unit;
a content transmitting unit configured to transmit the content stored in the storage unit or the content converted by the
transcoding unit to the client connected via the network connecting unit;
a setting unit configured to set a table in which information indicating whether or not to store the content after being converted
has been recorded for combinations of: a) compression and encoding formats before converting, and b) compression and encoding
formats after converting;
a judging unit configured to judge whether or not to store the content converted by the transcoding unit based on the table
set by the setting unit; and
a control unit configured to store the content converted by the transcoding unit in the storage unit, when the judging unit
judges that the content converted by the transcoding unit is to be stored in the storage unit.
