Abstract
The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus, a transmitting method, and a receiving apparatus that are to preferably transmit content composed of a file. A transmission stream is transmitted to a reception side through a predetermined transmission path. In the transmission stream, a first transmission packet including transmission media and a second transmission packet including information related to the transmission media are time-division multiplexed. When the transmission media included in the first transmission packet is divided data of a file that composes predetermined content, identification information for identifying divided data included in the first transmission packet is inserted into the first transmission packet and the second transmission packet.
