An error correcting part (6) comprises an image selecting part (61) and an error concealing part (62). The image selecting part (61) selects a frame to be used as the image for the concealment and notifies the error concealing part (62) of, as information of the selected frame, the frame number (frame_num) of the selected image or the number of a frame memory in which the selected image is stored. The error concealing part (62) uses additional information and the selected frame information which is given from the image selecting part (61) to conceal the macro block where the error has occurred.
