A method of encoding a sequence of frames using 3-D decomposition including temporal filtering and using intra-frame prediction/interpolation, comprises(a) a first stage of intra-prediction/interpolation in which any neighbouring blocks may be used;(b) evaluating the intra-prediction/interpolation of step (a) for each block to identify blocks for intra-frame prediction;(c) a second stage of intra-prediction/interpolation wherein blocks identified in step (b) are not used for intra-prediction/interpolation of other blocks.
