A coded digital video signal is obtained by dividing a digital video signal into plural pages each composed of K fields of pixel data, decomposing pixel data in each two pages into plural blocks each composed of a predetermined number of pixel data, and encoding the pixel data in each block by bit rate reduction encoding and error correction encoding. The thus obtained coded digital video signal is reproduced or transmitted and then subjected to a concealment process. The concealment process includes decoding the coded digital video signal to obtain reproduced blocks of pixel data and to detect an error block containing an error among the reproduced blocks, composing the reproduced blocks to obtain plural reproduced pages of pixel data, and concealing error pixel data contained in the error block in each two reproduced pages. Error pixel data in a first page is concealed using pixel data in a previous page, and error pixel data in a second page is concealed using pixel data in a succeeding page.
