Well, "LoopFiltering" comes to mind.  That's part of the H.264 standard,
so it shouldn't be long before being commonly in-use.  

In addition, as far back as VP3, I was impressed with On2's codec for
it's apparent lack of blocking artifacts, despite being block-based
like every other codec at the time.

I'll go one better...  The solution is to abandon digital video
all-together.  Long live analog!
