An apparatus of compressing the data size of moving pictures for multi-channel digital video recorders (DVRs), comprising:
- a video switch selectively taking the image frames of moving pictures from each of the multiple channels under the control of a control logic;
- a video decoder converting the image frame from the output of said video switch to a digital video signal through multiplexing the image frames of the moving picture from channels;
- a control logic controlling the input sequence of the moving picture for the video switch, the frame selection, and the number of the frame per second for a compression processor for moving pictures;
- a video memory storing the image frame of moving pictures multiplexed and mixed-up for the multi-channels;
- a compression processor for moving pictures taking a predefined number of frames per second from said video memory under the control of said control logic, compressing the video data through comparing the present frame with the channel-dependent reference frame together with the channel information taken from said control logic;
- a first memory storing said channel-dependent reference frame for the compression of video data for each channel;
- and
- a second memory storing frame parameters for moving pictures for each channel.

A method of compressing data size of moving pictures for multi-channel digital video recorders, comprising steps of:
- (a) multiplexing the image frames of moving pictures transmitted from each of multiple channels through a video switch, and decoding the image frames into digital video signals;
- (b) reading out the channel information for each image frame by accessing the digital video data corresponding to the predefined amount of frames per second at the video memory where the decoded data at the step (a) is stored;
- and
- (c) compressing the video data independently for each channel by processing the digital video data accessed from the video memory in accordance with the channel information and the channel-dependent reference information with frame parameters.

A method of compressing the data size of multiple-channel moving pictures with a single compression processor, comprising steps of:
- (a) decoding each image frame of moving pictures into a digital video signal by multiplexing a series of image frames from each of multiple channels through selectively converting switch;
- (b) storing the decoded data of step (a) at a video memory;
- (c) requesting the video memory for the transmittal of the predefined amount of frames per second, and reading out the channel information corresponding to the transmitted image frame;
- and
- (d) compressing the image data from the correlation between the current image frame and the reference frame corresponding to the channel of the current image frame by accessing the channel reference frame at a first memory and parameter information at a second memory.
