<p>When forming a data block which includes both an image code obtained by carrying out variable length coding for each of plural regions resulted from dividing each picture provided by an image signal, and added information associated therewith, boundary information indicative of a position, in the data block, of the boundary between the image codes in adjacent twos of the divided regions is added into the data block. There are also formed in the data block a first error detection or correction code to make up a code word which includes the boundary code, but does not include the image code, and a second error detection or correction code to make up a code word which includes both the image code and the boundary code. Alternatively, in the block which includes main information and added information associated with the main information in time series there are formed a first error detection or correction code to make up a code word which does not include the main information, but includes both the added information and a first check bit, and a second error detection or correction code to make up a code word which does not include the first check bit, but includes the added information, the main information and a second check bit. <IMAGE></p> |
