MSU StegoVideo

Unique tool for hiding information in video
(VirtualDub filter/standalone executable)

MSU Graphics & Media Lab (Video Group)

Project, ideas: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
Implementation: Oleg Petrov

Here you can see description of MSU StegoVideo tool settings if you want to use it as standalone program.
Go to main tool page for a general info about this tool or go to filter settings page if you want to use this tool as VirtualDub filter.

 

Installation

Unpack msu_stegovideo_exe.zip in any folder and run "MSU_stego_video.exe".

 

Hiding information

1. Choose mode

Choose mode

When you start program, you should choose what you want to do: to extract file from video or to hide file in video. Check "Hide file in video" and click "Next".

2. Choose files

Choose files

On this step you should choose file that you want to hide (small *.txt files recommended), video file in which info will be hidden and file for resulting video. Video files must have ".avi" extension.

3. Choose compression mode

Choose compression mode

Check box on this step if you want to compress video with info (you will be adviced to choose codec later). Warning: some info can be lost after compression! Don't use very low bitrates; bitrates from 800 kbps are recommended.

4. Choose hiding parameters

Hiding parameters

  • Noise level - Power of video distortions. Decrease it if distortion is too high (100 recommended).
  • Data redundancy - Increasing data redundancy decreases amount of data that will be hidden into each frame and probability of error.
  • You can generate optimal parameters automatically, in this case you'll have to fill in planned compression bitrate.

    5. Save passcode

    Public MSU video filters
    Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. Commonly we develop a whole family of some kind of a filter. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru.
    MSU filters for companies
    We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
