摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to efficiently use an image buffer memory and to make it possible to further improve encoding efficiency by means of determining a number of playback images capable of being stored in the image buffer memory, on the basis of the frame size of a playback image. The video prediction encoding device is equipped with an image storing means that, after reconstituting compressed image data into a playback image, stores one or more of the playback images as reference images for encoding subsequent images. The video prediction encoding device is also equipped with a memory control means that controls a frame memory in the image storing means. The memory control means determines the maximum number of playback images capable of being stored in the frame memory to be multiplied by 2
