Résumé
Video compression is how enormous image data files get
shrunk for fast transmission without significant loss of
visual quality. It's the magic behind digital TV,
videoconferencing, DVDs, and Internet video.Now is the time
to learn about video compression--how to do it and how to
use it. Peter Symes, a video compression specialist, paints
the full video compression picture in this friendly,
not-too-big, not-too-technical introduction. This is not a
detailed implementation book, but it does explain what
happens in compression, why compression works, and what
will stop it from working.
