A novel apparatus for improving the overall compression efficiency comprises: a transformer for transforming an input video signal into a plurality of subbands of transform coefficients, wherein one subband which exists in the lowest frequency band includes one or more DC coefficients, the remaining subbands contain a multiplicity of AC coefficients, respectively; a converter for converting the transform coefficients included in the plurality of subbands into a number of assembled blocks with a predetermined identical size, each of the blocks having one DC coefficient and a plurality of AC coefficients; a generator for generating a selection signal representing a class for each of the assembled blocks; first encoder for encoding the DC coefficients of the assembled blocks, to thereby generate a first encoded video signal; a second encoder, responsive to the selection signal, and for encoding the AC coefficients of each of the assembled blocks, to thereby produce a second encoded video signal; and a formatter for formatting the first encoded video frame signal and the second encoded video frame signal.
