Abstract
Video data predictive encoding methods using the two kinds of prediction modes, the global and local motion compensation modes, are provided, by which unnecessary MCSEL is reduced as much as possible, and the data compression efficiency is improved. In the encoder, after a code word MCBPC indicating the macroblock type and presence/absence of the DCT coefficient of each of two blocks for sending color-difference signals, a code word MCSEL indicating which motion-compensating mode, global or local, was adopted for the prediction of the current macroblock is output if the macroblock was not intraframe-encoded.
