A method and a system for bit reorganization and packetization of uncompressed video for transmission over wireless communication channels. The bit stream of the uncompressed video is reorganized according to importance levels of video bits. Then, various unequal protection methods such as encoding are applied to bits at different video importance levels. The reorganized and encoded information is then transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver over a wireless channel. The receiver performs the reverse steps of the transmitter, along with error detection/correction as needed, to recover the uncompressed video information.
