This paper investigates semantic-aware neural joint source-channel coding (JSCC) for robust video transmission over block erasure channels. We propose a neural video compression framework exploring both spatial-domain and feature-domain designs. In the spatial domain, video frames are partitioned into blocks, enabling localized erasure handling and fine-grained robustness control via uniform erasure and two-level, semantic-guided non-uniform erasure strategies. In the feature domain, latent features are partitioned, enabling missing features to be semantically recovered while maintaining overall spatial consistency. Comprehensive experiments quantify reconstruction quality under varying uniform and non-uniform erasure probabilities. Our results show that spatial-domain JSCC excels at handling random localized losses, whereas feature-domain JSCC provides superior robustness to distributed erasures and maintains fidelity under low-loss scenarios. The analysis highlights the trade-offs between spatial continuity and semantic redundancy, offering insights for designing robust, task-aware video communication systems.
