1. A multimedia information processing system for facilitating transmission of multimedia information over different types of transmission media, comprising:

  • information-source coding processing means including a plurality of different coding sections, each coding section inputting one of a plurality of media information of different types, each coding section independently coding each type of media information regardless of and independent to the type of transmission media utilized to transmit the media information, wherein each type of media information is to be transmitted on one of the different types of transmission media;

    packet multiplexing means for producing a multiplexed stream by packet-multiplexing coded bit streams produced by said information-source coding processing means, wherein each of the coded bit streams is independent to the other coded bit streams;

    fixed length packet producing means for allocating said multiplexed stream into fixed length packets; and

    transmission coding means for producing a transmission signal from said fixed length packets,said transmission coding means coding the transmission signal in a manner depending upon the corresponding type of transmission medium.
