A moving image coding apparatus comprises: an intraframe coding circuit for carrying out band compression of moving image data by intraframe coding; an interframe coding circuit for carrying out band compression of moving image data by interframe coding; a block division circuit for dividing data in each frame into a plurality of blocks each of which includes a predetermined number of pixels; and a coding switch circuit for switching a coding operation which is carried out in the coder, so that coding is carried out by the intraframe coding circuit for moving image data of a predetermined portion of pixels in each of the plurality of blocks, and coding is carried out by the interframe coding circuit for moving image data of a remaining portion of pixels in each of the plurality of blocks. A moving image decoding apparatus comprises: an interframe decoding circuit for decoding moving image data which is band compressed by interframe coding; an intraframe decoding circuit for decoding moving image data which is band compressed by intraframe coding; and a decoding switch circuit for switching a decoding operation which is carried out in the decoder, so that decoding is carried out by the intraframe decoding circuit when moving image data which is band compressed by intraframe coding is input, and decoding is carried out by the interframe decoding circuit when moving image data which is band compressed by interframe coding is input.
