Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for successive intra block prediction. Methods and apparatus for successive intra block prediction may comprise a matching decoder to generate data that replicates the internal state and/or the decompressed data at the decoder. The apparatus may further comprise a prediction module that utilizes the replicated data to make predictions. The apparatus may then utilize the predicted data and the original, input source data to determine a difference value and encode the difference value.
