A recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed. Each of main pixel blocks of (m pixels in a horizontal direction x m pixels in a vertical direction x n pixels in a time direction), m and n being an integer, included in a video signal is divided into a first and a second block. The horizontal pixel number of the first block is made half and the vertical pixel number of the second block is made half. Correlation between continuous two main pixel blocks is detected in the horizontal and vertical directions. Three-dimensional orthogonal transform is applied to either of the first or the second block according to the detected correlation. And, the video signal, the first or the second block thereof being applied with the three-dimensional orthogonal transform, is encoded to form a signal to be recorded. In reproduction, the formed signal is decoded. And, three-dimensional inverse-orthogonal transform which is inversion of the three-dimensional orthogonal transform is applied to the first or the second block to which the three-dimensional orthogonal transform is applied to compose the main blocks to reproduce the video signal. <IMAGE> |
