A video signal compression circuit for encoding a video signal to reduce the quantity of video information that is transmitted without loss of information, and a video signal decompressing circuit for recovering the video signal from its compressed coded form. The encoding circuit includes means for dividing the video signal of each television frame into blocks, each block including a plurality of picture elements distributed over several scan lines. The information in each block is analyzed to detect image movement in that block and a movement detection signal corresponding to each block is produced. Thereafter, the movement detection signal is rearranged to have a time sequence which corresponds to the sequential order of the picture elements in the original video signal. With the help of the rearranged movement detection signal, the original video signal is coded in accordance with a predictive-coding scheme into a form which allows it to be transmitted over a television signal carrier. In alternate embodiments, the movement detection signal remains in a time sequence which corresponds to its block form and instead the video signal is converted to have a time sequence which corresponds to the time sequence of the movement detection signal.
