An apparatus for decoding a moving picture

An apparatus for decoding a moving picture, wherein a plurality of buffer memory elements (21-25) between a plurality of respective processing parts (40, 30, 34, 33, 35) and a memory (13) is connected, and a RAM (11) (by a memory control part 12) is connected to the memory, wherein the memory control section cyclically allocates the respective buffer memory sections time slots within one horizontal scanning period and in each time slot, the memory controller controls access between the corresponding buffer memory section and the RAM, further comprising: a Systemdemultiplexierteil (40) for separating a multiplexed bit stream into a plurality of bit streams; a variable length decoding part (30), an inverse-quantization part (31) and an inverse DCT portion (32) which are connected in cascade in this order; a predictive image generation part (34); To receive outputs of the inverse DCT portion (32) and the predictive image generation part (34) an adder (33) which is coupled; and a video output portion (35) for generating a video signal based on encoded image data, wherein the buffer storage parts (21-25) includes: a first buffer memory ...
