In this paper, we propose a new perceptually significant video quality metric to estimate the effect of block coding for standards H.264 AVC and MPEG2. Our method operates in the spatial domain and doesn't require a high complexity of computation. We compare it with Suthaharan's and MSU's techniques by using “LIVE” database. Results indicate that the proposed method outperforms Suthaharan's technique. They also indicate that our method is more effective than MSU's technique for the H.264 AVC and MPEG2 standard with the Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient.
