ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for encoding a digital video signal provided as a plurality of blocks of video data. The video data in block form are subjected to discrete cosine transformation to yield respective DC components and respective pluralities of AC components. The plurality of AC components are variable length encoded and, in certain embodiments, the DC components and variable-length encoded AC components of each block are arranged in a data stream so that the DC components precede the variable-length encoded AC components and relatively lower frequency variable length encoded AC components precede relatively higher frequency ones thereof. Error correction codes for the transformed data also are supplied. In certain embodiments of the invention, the transformed video data are arranged as a sequence of fixed length symbols so that the beginning of each of a plurality of blocks of transformed data corresponds with the beginning of a respective symbol within the sequence. In addition, an address indicating the position of a subsequent block is included within the sequence in association with a preceding block.
