The present invention provides a method and corresponding apparatus for measuring the quality of a video sequence. The video sequence is comprised of a plurality of frames, among which one or more consecutive frames are lost. During the displaying of the video sequence, said one or more lost frames are substituted by an immediate preceding frame in the video sequence during a period from the displaying of said immediate preceding frame to that of an immediate subsequent frame of said one or more lost frames. The method comprises: measuring the quality of the video sequence as a function of a first parameter relating to the stability of said immediate preceding frame during said period, a second parameter relating to the continuity between said immediate preceding frame and said immediate subsequent frame, and a third parameter relating to the coherent motions of the video sequence.
