In this paper, we study the degenerate convective Cahn-Hilliard equation, which is a special case of the general convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with $M(u,\nabla u)=diag(0,1,\ldots ,1)$. We obtain the uniform a priori decay estimates of a solution by use of the long-short wave method and the frequency decomposition method. We prove the existence of the unique global classical solution with small initial data by establishing the uniform estimates of the solution. Decay estimates are also discussed.
