| 1. A method of decoding block N+1 in frame N+1 of successive frames of a predictively coded image signal, said method comprising
the steps of:
a) evaluating block N of frame N and block N-M of frame N-M of said signal, wherein blocks N-M, N and N+1 are in corresponding
locations of frames N-M, N and N+1, respectively, M=>1;
b) identifying an error in one of block N and block N-M;
c) using the other of block N and block N-M to decode block N+1 based on steps a) and b).
