Abstract
In S2, to-be-compressed image data is encoded and thus compressed each time when using a respective one of a plurality of templates. In S4, compression rates of encoded data are compared with each other which encoded data was encoded each time when a respective one of the plurality of templates was used in S2. In S6, encoded data having the highest compression rate and template identification information of a template used when the encoded data having the highest compression rate was obtained in S2 are output. The encoding comprises entropy encoding. The to-be-compressed data comprises video game software programs.
