Abstract
A data compression apparatus is described which applies a dynamically variable degree of quantisation Q.sub.s to input data so as to control blocks of output data to have a predetermined maximum size. The dynamic control can be carried out on an inter-block basis or an intra-block basis. An overflow detector is provided for inserting an overflow indicator within blocks of compressed data to indicate when overflow has occurred.
