Abstract This paper presents a reversible data hiding (RDH) method, which is designed
by combining histogram modification (HM) with run-level coding in H.264/advanced
video coding (AVC). In this scheme, the run-level is changed for embedding data into
H.264/AVC video sequences. In order to guarantee the reversibility of the proposed
scheme, the last nonzero quantized discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients in
embeddable 4×4 blocks are shifted by the technology of histogram modification. The
proposed scheme is realized after quantization and before entropy coding of H.264/AVC
compression standard. Therefore, the embedded information can be correctly extracted at
