Perceptual quality enhancement of severely compressed videos remains challenging due to complex artifact patterns and substantial information loss. Recent diffusion models have demonstrated strong generative capability for visual restoration, but directly applying them to compressed video often ignores compression degradation characteristics and may introduce structure-inconsistent hallucinations. To address this issue, this paper presents a diffusion-based compressed video enhancement method, named DiffCVE. Coding Prior-enhanced Dual Conditioning (CPDC) branches are designed to jointly model compressed video and coding prior conditions, where coding priors including residuals and motion vectors provide complementary structural and motion guidance during the diffusion denoising process. To make the diffusion process aware of compression severity, a Compression Degradation Semantic Prompting (CDSP) mechanism is introduced to leverage QP-conditioned textual prompts together with LoRA fine-tuning. In addition, a Coding Prior-guided Weighted Fusion (CPWF) module is incorporated into the VAE decoder to fuse VAE encoder and coding prior encoder features with QP-predicted weights. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving perceptual quality, especially under severe compression settings.
