Abstract
A high-efficiency encoding method and apparatus assuring a higher data compression ratio than with known encoding method and apparatus. The multi-channel signals including bandwidth-limited signals of at least one channel are encoded by the same encoding technique by an encoding unit. The bandwidth-limited signals of at least one channel, resulting from encoding by the encoding unit, are re-encoded by a re-encoding unit for eliminating the redundant information produced by the bandwidth limitation.
