1. A video signal compression method comprising:
- transforming to output a set of video frequency coefficients of an individual sub-block;
quantizing to output a quantized set of video frequency coefficients;
scanning the quantized set of video frequency coefficients according to a scanning pattern which is selected from a plurality of scanning patterns to produce a set of reordered coefficients;
producing a scan selection signal indicating of the scanned quantized set of video frequency coefficients; and
entropy encoding the set of reordered coefficients and outputting an entropy encoded signal,wherein the scan selection signal is not entropy encoded.

Abstract
A multi-scanner scans a signal according to several different patterns. A scanning pattern selector determines which scanning pattern produced the most efficient coding result, for example, for runlength coding, and outputs a coded signal, coded most efficiently, and a selection signal which identifies the scanning pattern found to be most efficient.
