Abstract
A method for decoding a video signal in which the decoding operation is completed within a predetermined time irrespective of the presence of an error which is generated on a bit strings. In the case where a bit strings formed by coding a video signal for each of predetermined blocks, the decoding operation is suspended upon the detection of the presence of an error in the bit strings followed by resuming the decoding operation from any of the synchronous codes present on the bit strings. At this time, it is judged on the basis of the position of the error detected from the bit strings as to from which synchronous code out of the synchronous codes present on the bit strings the decoding operation is resumed thereby completing within a predetermined time the decoding operation of a series of data groups including an error part of the bit strings.
