A novel video steganography scheme based on motion vectors and linear block codes has been proposed in this paper. Our method embed secret messages in the motion vectors of cover media during the process of H.264 compressing. Linear block codes has been used to reducing the modification rate of the motion vectors. The proposed steganographic scheme is not only has lowly computational complexity, but also has highly imperceptible to human being. Furthermore, the secret information can be extracted directly without using the original video sequences. Experiments are designed to prove the feasibility of the proposed method. Experimental results show that our proposed scheme can embed large amounts of information and can maintain good video quality as well.
