Apparatus and method for partitioning moving picture data

1. A method for partitioning moving picture data, the method comprising:

generating a first-quantized signal by first-decoding a received stream,

wherein first decoding comprises dividing the received stream into a preceding part and a succeeding part, variable-length decoding and inverse-quantizing the preceding part, variable-length decoding the succeeding part, and outputting the first-quantized signal by adding the preceding part to the succeeding part; and

restoring a video signal by second-decoding the first-quantized signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preceding part is an even-approximated coefficient.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the succeeding part is an odd-remainder coefficient.

4. A system for partitioning moving picture data, the system comprising:

a first inverse-quantizing mechanism for generating a first-quantized signal by first-quantizing a preceding part and a succeeding part of a data-partitioned stream,

wherein the first inverse-quantizing unit comprises a divider for dividing the received data-partitioned stream into the preceding part and the succeeding part, a first variable length decoder (VLD) for performing variable-length decoding of the preceding part to generate a first output signal, a first inverse-quantizer for inverse-quantizing the first output signal of the first VLD, a second VLD for performing variable-length decoding of the succeeding part, and a first combiner for outputting a first-quantized signal by combining an output signal of the first inverse-quantizer with an output signal of the second VLD; and

a second inverse-quantizing mechanism for outputting a video signal by performing inverse-quantization and inverse discrete cosine transform of the first quantized signal.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein an output signal of the first VLD is an even-approximated coefficient.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein an output signal of the second VLD is an odd-remainder coefficient.
