Term for video artifact of blocky grey visuals

The artifact can be caused by many things but often the decision of the video process to only update areas of the screen that have most recently changed recently. If other, static, areas are left alone the delay is not so noticeable. This is seen as moving lips appearing over still images of related scenes. The decision mechanism is [often] an "Exclusive OR" or XOR operation. We say the bad image is being X-ORed to death.

I would call the 3 images respectively (i) somewhat pixelated or with a few pixelations, (ii) pixelated, and (iii) heavily pixelated.

2. transitive. To blur (parts of a televisual or photographic image) by converting into a number of fairly large, indistinct, pixel-like patches, for purposes of censorship or to maintain the anonymity of the subject.
