As one of the focus areas of robust video coding and transmission, multiple description video coding has attracted comprehensive attention. The low coding efficiency of multiple description video coding is always the major challenge in this field. In order to improve the performance of multiple description video coding, this paper proposes a scheme based on residuum compensation. In this scheme, each original video frame is encoded with a traditional encoder first to get the first description. Then the error residuum of each coded frame is added up to the corresponding original frame and the resulting compensated frame is encoded by another traditional encoder to generate the second description suc- cessively. This work uses JM10.0 of H.264/AVC as video coding codec to conduct the experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good coding performance. Compared to state of art traditional single description encoder, the efficiency can be as high as 90%, he. the redundancy is only 10% to 20%.
