A coding rate converting apparatus according to the present invention re-quantizes first quantized data with a first quantization step size, using a second quantization step size larger than the first quantization step size, and includes: an inverse quantization unit generating orthogonal transform coefficients by inversely quantizing the first quantized data for each of unit blocks; a quantization unit generating second quantized data by quantizing the orthogonal transform coefficients using the second quantization step size; a filter intensity change judging unit judging whether a second filter intensity determined based on the second quantized data is changed from a first filter intensity determined based on the first quantized data; and a coefficient correcting unit generating, in the case of the second filter intensity, third quantized data by correcting the second quantized data so that a third filter intensity determined based on the third quantized data becomes equal to the first filter intensity.
