Motion image recording device

A motion image recording apparatus according to claim 10, comprising:

• a bus to be utilized for transmitting the image data and the compressed image data;
• a memory for storing the image data and the compressed image data that are transmitted through said bus;
• a zooming means for performing an electric zooming process on the image data;
• and
• a selecting means for arbitrarily selecting a zooming manner of said zooming means, wherein
• said zooming means, when an enlargement zooming is selected by said selecting means, extracts a part of the image data by use of said memory, and performs the enlargement zooming on the extracted motion image data.

A motion image recording apparatus comprising:

• a fetching means for fetching a plurality of screens of image data forming a motion image;
• a compression means for compressing the image data of each of screens fetched by said fetching means with reference to a target size;
• a recording means for recording compressed image date generated by said compression means in a recording medium;
• a first detecting means for detecting a first size value indicative of a total size of the compressed image data corresponding to a newest predetermined number of screens;
• a second detecting means for detecting a second size value indicative of a total size of the compressed image data that has already been created by said compression means and has not yet been recorded by said recording means;
• a dividing means for dividing a difference value obtained by subtracting said second size value from said first size value by said predetermined number;
• and
• a setting means for setting a divided value obtained by said dividing means as said target size.
