ABSTRACT:
In an encoding apparatus having a memory of diminished size for lowering the production cost, the memory stores input video signals made up of plural pictures including intra-pictures (I-pictures) and a scene change detector 101 detects change points of the input video signals. An encoding unit 106 encodes pictures stored in the memory 102 by fixed length encoding for generating a bitstream. A timing control unit 105 determines successive groups of pictures, each including at least an intra-picture, on the basis of the detection by the scene change detector 101, and controls the processing timing of fixed length encoding of each picture in the group of pictures by the encoding unit 106. A rate control unit 107 sets a range from a picture next to an intra-picture to the next intra-picture as a range of the code generation rate in the encoding unit 106. The rate control unit 107 controls the range of the code generation rate so that, if a scene change has been detected, the amount of the encoding information previously allocated to the intra-picture will be allocated to other pictures.
