Due to the high speed of Internet we can easily transfer video data over the Internet, but people are worried about their data being hacked by unauthorized users. Inside the host medium (text, audio, image and video) we can embed the secret message in Steganography. Video Steganography is a significant method for data hiding. In this work, a variable bit length Video Steganography algorithm is proposed. To immune the secret data, it is first encoded using BCH codes, where the message bits of length k will be converted to a codeword of length n. Depending on the wavelet coefficient values of DWT(Discrete wavelet transform), secret data are embedded into the middle and high frequencies. The results demonstrate better results than in [1].
