A method of increasing temporal resolution: a) provides an original video having a given spatial resolution; b) compresses a first frame of said original video using any image compression method; and c) repeatedly compresses a next frame of said original video using the steps of: i. providing a current video comprising the already compressed video frames, said current video having an initial spatial resolution; ii. repeatedly reducing the spatial resolution of said current video and the spatial resolution of said next frame of the original video, to produce a lowest level spatial resolution current video and a lowest level spatial resolution next frame of the original video; and iii. compressing said lowest level spatial resolution next frame of the original video to produce a lowest level compressed next frame.
