Summary: 
This paper proposes an efficient lossless coding scheme for color video in RGB 4:4:4 format. For the R signal that is encoded before the other signals at each frame, we employ a block-adaptive prediction technique originally developed for monochrome video. The prediction technique used for the remaining G and B signals is extended to exploit inter-color correlations as well as inter- and intra-frame ones. In both cases, multiple predictors are adaptively selected on a block-by-block basis. For the purpose of designing a set of predictors well suited to the local properties of video signals, we also explore an appropriate setting for the spatiotemporal partitioning of a video volume.
