ABSTRACT:
Input picture information is divided into first and second division-resultant signals. Y-signal DCT blocks, Cr-signal DCT blocks, and Cb-signal DCT blocks are generated from the first division-resultant signal. Y-signal DCT blocks, Cr-signal DCT blocks, and Cb-signal DCT blocks are generated from the second division-resultant signal. Dummy DCT blocks are generated which are distinguishable from the Y-signal DCT blocks related to the first and second division-resultant signals. The Y-signal DCT blocks, the Cr-signal DCT blocks, and the Cb-signal DCT blocks related to the first division-resultant signal, and the dummy DCT blocks are grouped into macro-blocks each having two Y-signal DCT blocks, one Cr-signal DCT block, one Cb-signal DCT block, and two dummy DCT blocks to modify the first-division-resultant signal into a first modification-resultant signal. The Y-signal DCT blocks, the Cr-signal DCT blocks, and the Cb-signal DCT blocks related to the second division-resultant signal, and the dummy DCT blocks are grouped into macro-blocks each having two Y-signal DCT blocks, one Cr-signal DCT block, one Cb-signal DCT block, and two dummy DCT blocks to modify the second division-resultant signal into a second modification-resultant signal. The first modification-resultant signal is compressed by DCT and variable length encoding while a data amount of the first compression-resultant signal per given number of macro-blocks is maintained at a fixed amount. The second modification-resultant signal is similarly compressed.
