A method and apparatus for accessing a memory for processing moving pictures, which loads data from a frame buffer of an external memory, and uses a motion prediction technique. The method includes the steps of: loading, from the frame buffer, pixels of a relevant block of 8x8 size and extra pixel data necessary for an inter prediction while performing the inter prediction of a block of an 8x8 size following division of a macroblock, storing the pixels of the relevant block size of 8x8 and the extra pixel data in an internal cache memory. The stored pixels of the relevant block size of 8x8 and the stored extra pixel data are used; and then the stored pixels of the relevant block size of 8x8 and the stored extra pixel data stored in the cache memory are re-used during an inter prediction of the relevant block size of 8x8 and sub-blocks.
