Abstract
When a variable length code requires two cycles in decoding, portions of code bit strings serving as objects to be decoded in first and second cycles of the variable length code are caused to overlap each other. In the first cycle, a non-overlapping portion is determined as a decoded portion. A length of a code bit string actually decoded in the first cycle is determined as a length of the code bit string serving as the object to be decoded in the first cycle excluding the length of the overlapping portion so as to determine a start position of the code bit string serving as the object to be decoded in the second cycle.
