A method and arrangement are disclosed for processing a compressed media signal, for example, embedding a watermark in an MPEG2 video signal. The watermark, a spatial noise pattern (140), is embedded (123) by selectively discarding the smallest quantized DCT coefficients. The discarded coefficients are subsequently merged in the runs of other run/level pairs. To compensate for a too large reduction of the bit rate, some of the new run/level pairs are not variable-length encoded (124) but represented by longer code words according to further coding rule (125) providing such longer code words, for example, MPEG's "Escape coding".
