Abstract: Steganography is the art and science of communication which hides the presence of secret information. In this paper, a novel approach to hide the secret information in videos has been proposed for H.264/AVC compressed videos. H.264/AVC is known to be highly efficient and network friendly coding technique. In the proposed approach, we have utilized the F5 algorithm for preventing statistical attacks and improving embedding efficiency. Perceptual quality has been taken into consideration while using the Steganographic technique as well as after the compression by the H.264 method. Firstly, the videos are compressed and then the Steganographic method is applied. From the results, it is evident that F5 method gives the better PSNR values as far as perceptual quality is concerned.
