First Claim
1. An encoded-data converting apparatus for use with image data comprising:
- a) encoded-data input means for inputting first encoded data encoded with a first encoding;
b) header extracting means for extracting first header information from the first encoded data;
c) header generating means for generating second header information for a second encoding from the first header information;
d) conversion setting means for setting-up variable-length-code conversion based on both a predetermined parameter for use in the second encoding and an encoding parameter used in the first encoding;
e) frame-data extracting means for extracting encoded data in one frame from the first encoded data;
f) variable-length-code converting means for converting a variable length code in the encoded data in accordance with the variable-length-code conversion set-up by said conversion setting means;
g) DC-component converting means for decoding DC components in the encoded data in the frame into quantized values and using the quantized values to perform predictive encoding based on the second encoding; and
h) encoded-data output means for shaping the second header information and outputs of said variable-length-code converting means, and said DC-component converting means into data, and outputting the data as data encoded by the second encoding.

Abstract
An encoded-data converting apparatus and method are provided. First encoded data generated by using first encoding to encode image data is input. Header information included in the first encoded data is extracted. Header information based on second encoding is generated from the header information included in the first encoded data. Variable-length-code conversion is set up based on a predetermined parameter for use in the second encoding and an encoding parameter used in the first encoding. Encoded data in one frame is extracted from the first encoded data. A variable length code in the encoded data in the frame is converted in accordance with the variable-length-code conversion. DC components in the encoded data in the frame are decoded into quantized values and the quantized values are used to perform predictive encoding based on the second encoding. The obtained outputs are shaped and output as data encoded by the second encoding.
