Content distribution system, terminal apparatus, content distribution apparatus, additional information distribution apparatus, content recording method, and recording medium

A terminal apparatus which obtains a content and records the content on at least one of recording media, said terminal apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive division information from a content distribution apparatus that stores the division information indicating a position at which the content is divided according to a type of the recording media;
• and
• a recording unit configured to record each of divisional contents on a corresponding one of the recording media, the divisional contents being generated by dividing the content at the division position indicated by the division information.

A content distribution apparatus which distributes a content to a terminal apparatus that records divisional contents on recording media, said content distribution apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store division information indicating a division position at which the content is divided according to a type of the recording media;
• and
• a distribution unit configured to distribute, to the terminal apparatus, the division information read from said storage unit.

A content recording method for recording a content distributed from a content distribution apparatus by using a terminal apparatus, said method comprising:

• distributing division information from the content distribution apparatus to the terminal apparatus, the division information indicating a division position at which the content is divided according to a type of at least one of recording media;
• and
• recording each of divisional contents on a corresponding one of recording media, the divisional contents being generated by dividing the content at the division position indicated by the division information.

A computer-readable recording medium on which a program for recording, using a terminal apparatus, a content distributed from a content distribution apparatus is stored, the program allowing a computer to execute:

• distributing division information from the content distribution apparatus to the terminal apparatus, the division information indicating a division position at which the content is divided according to a type of at least one of recording media;
• and
• recording each of divisional contents on a corresponding one of recording media, the divisional contents being generated by dividing the content at the division position indicated by the division information.
