ABSTRACT:
A subtracter (20) supplies a prediction error signal (21), derived from a prediction signal (101) and an input motion video signal (1). A quantizer (30) quantizes the prediction error signal to generate a quantized prediction error signal (31). A reproduced prediction error signal (81) reproduced by an inverse-quantizer (80) is added to the prediction signal by an adder 90, and the sum is supplied to the predictor (100), which generates the prediction error signal. The quantized prediction error signal is converted by a variable word length coder (40) into a variable word length code sequence. A generated information quantity calculating section (50) counts the number of bits in the sequence frame by frame. A quantization characteristic determining circuit (60) supplies, on the basis of the result of counting, a controller (70) with a quantization characteristic candidate signal 61 indicating the candidate of the quantization characteristic to be used in the next frame. The controller 70 compares the coarseness of the quantization characteristic used in the preceding frame with the quantization characteristic candidate signal, determines the quantization characteristic to be used in the current frame, and supplies a quantization characteristic control signal (75) to the quantizer (30) and the inverse-quantizer (80).
