Abstract
There is provided a video encoding device capable of changing a quantization step size frequently while reducing an increase in code rate to enable high-quality moving image encoding, comprising a quantization step size encoding unit 10 for encoding a quantization step size that controls the granularity of quantization, the quantization step size encoding unit 10 includes a step size prediction unit 11 for predicting the quantization step size that controls the granularity of the quantization by using a quantization step size assigned to a neighboring image block already encoded.
