Processing of picture image compression coding is divided into a plurality of processing steps and programs for the respective steps are stored in a memory. Based on capacity of the memory, at least one of a number of frames, a number of lines and a number of block lines is set as a division unit by which each step conducts processing. Processing corresponding to a program stored in the memory is executed for a set division unit.
