Abstract: “As data continue to grow in complexity and size, there is an imperative need for more efficient and robust storage solutions. DNA storage has emerged as a promising avenue to solve this problem, but existing approaches do not perform efficiently enough on video data, particularly for information density and time efficiency. This paper introduces VSD, a pioneering encoding method for video segmentation and storage in DNA, leveraging the Reed–Solomon (RS) error correction code. This method addresses these limitations through an innovative combination of segmentation and encoding, accompanied by RS coding to bolster error resilience. Additionally, the method ensures that the GC-content of the resultant DNA sequences remains around 50%, which further enhances the storage robustness. The experimental results demonstrate the method has commendable encoding efficiency and offers a solution to the prevailing issue of time inefficiency and error correction rates in DNA storage. This groundbreaking approach paves the way for the practical and reliable storage of large-scale video data in DNA, heralding a new era in the domain of information storage.“
