Abstract:
1. A decoding method, comprising: detecting a synchronization code at a plurality of synchronization code inserting positions of a fixed interval in an input code string, the input code string including a multiplexed code string obtained by multiplexing a plurality of variable length code strings, each of the plurality of variable length code strings being generated by compressing and coding an image signal, the input code string having stuffing codes of which the longest bit length is equal to the fixed interval of the plurality of synchronization code inserting positions; demultiplexing the multiplexed code string in the input code string based on a position of the detected synchronization code to generate the variable length code; and decoding the generated variable length code to output a reproduced image signal.
