A picture coding device includes a motion prediction unit, an intra picture prediction unit, and an input selection unit. The input selection unit selects a smaller one of a motion total obtained by adding a motion residual and a value into which a motion vector is coded and an intra picture total obtained by adding an intra picture residual and a value into which a prediction mode is coded. The device further includes an I_PCM judgment unit comparing a cost with a first threshold value. Additionally, the device includes an output selection unit selecting coded data obtained by arithmetic coding as data to be outputted to the outside if the cost is equal to or less than the first threshold value and selecting I_PCM data as the data to be outputted to the outside if the cost is larger than the first threshold value.

A device is provided for taking high resolution still pictures while recording video without pausing video recording. Plural channels are provided for reaching pixel values from a CMOS sensor, and the output of each channel is input to a corresponding A/D conversion circuit. The channels are configured so that the pixels that are added together are read simultaneously. The data added by the pixel value adder is used as the video data for video recording. When a still picture is captured during video recording, the pixel data is stored in memory with capacity to store one frame, and is sequentially output from the image sensor as the still picture data.

An image coder with a pre-record function includes a coding unit (11) which codes a motion-picture signal to generate closed GOPs or open GOPs, a buffer unit (14) in which at least one of the GOPs generated by the coding unit (11) is stored in a first-in first-out manner, a user I/F unit (12a) which receives instructions to start or stop capturing a moving picture, and a recording control unit (12b) which, before the user I/F unit (12a) receives an instruction to start capturing a moving picture, establishes a non-recording status and causes the coding unit (11) to start and continue coding the motion-picture signal so as to generate a GOP sequence including a closed GOP, and when the user I/F unit (12a) receives the instruction, switches from the non-recording status to a non-recording status and causes the coding unit (11) to generate a GOP sequence including only open GOPs.

The video signal input is converted to high-speed reproduction data by a high-speed reproduction data encoder 1. The video signal input is converted to high-speed reproduction data by a formatter 2, which formats the high-speed reproduction data so that the same data is recorded to n tracks. After the recorded data is input to an error correction encoder 3, it is decoded by a decoder 4 and recorded by a recording head 5 to the magnetic tape 6. During reproduction, the recorded data is reproduced by reproduction head 7 from the magnetic tape 6, and decoded by decoder 8. The decoded data is then error corrected by an error correction decoder 9, and then input to a deformatter 10. The deformatter 10 separates the normal reproduction data from the high-speed reproduction data, and separately outputs both data types. During normal reproduction, the normal reproduction data is output by a switch 13; the high-speed reproduction data is decoded to video data by a high-speed reproduction data decoder during high speed reproduction, and output.

A video data is accompanied or multiplexed with one or more flags indicating a relation between fields or frames of video data for transmission or recording. An interlace flag determines whether the video data is interlaced or not. A still image flag determines whether the video data carries a motion image, a field still image, or a frame still image. A frame change flag determines whether or not a given frame of the still image is identical to its previous frame. At least one of the three different flags is multiplexed with its relevant video data.
