Abstract: A cartridge for an information recording medium
includes a cartridge case (30), an opening cover (70),
detachably mounted to a rear side opening of the cartridge
case (30), for enabling the information recording medium
(d) to be withdrawn or inserted with respect to the
cartridge case (30), and a holding unit for preventing
movement of the information recording medium by supporting
the information recording medium when the information
recording medium is received and/or withdrawn into/from
the cartridge case (30). The holding unit includes a pair
of elastic pressure parts (44), elastically formed on the
opening cover (70), for elastically supporting the
information recording medium to prevent movement of the
information recording medium when the opening cover (70)
is not attached to the cartridge case (30), and a release
unit for releasing the pair of elastic pressure parts (44)
when the opening cover is attached to the cartridge case
so that the information recording medium is rotatable in
the cartridge case (30). The information recording medium
is accommodated and withdrawn with respect to the
cartridge case (30), by attaching/detaching the opening
cover (70) with respect to the cartridge case (30) while
supporting the disc with the holding unit. Accordingly, a
user does not need to touch the information recording
medium directly to replace the information recording
medium, and damage to the information recording medium
caused by the user's fingerprints, scratches, etc., is
prevented.

Abstract: Each of a transmit side and a receive side has a basic
frame memory which stores a basic frame, and an accumulated
frame memory which stores a predicted P-picture. An I-picture is
inter-frame compressed by taking difference between the current
input I-picture and a basic frame stored in the basic frame
memory. An input P-picture is inter-frame compressed by taking
difference between the current input P-picture and a prediction
frame which is stored in the accumulated frame memory storing a
sum of said prediction frame and a de-compressed difference
signal. An I-picture which does not take difference from a
previous frame but a fixed basic frame is inserted in every
predetermined P-pictures so that a compression errors of P-pictures
is not accumulated large. An I-picture may be
substituted by a plurality of intra-slices which shifts one by
one so that they cover a whole frame. The difference for
compression may be taken either for each frame, or for each
macroblock in a frame. A motion compensation can be combined
with the above compression system.
