Widely adopted video-coding standards are subject to obsolescence that follows a different form of “Moore’s Law.” Although silicon speed roughly doubles every 18 months, video-coding efficiency ...

Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Digital video currently follows the MPEG-2 standard, but improvements in image processing technology are set to move MPEG-4 to the forefront of video compression. Millions of DVD disks, satellite ...

As you would suspect, not all encoding tools address these options the same way. For example, when encoding with the Apple H.264 codec, Apple Compressor only supports the Baseline and Main Profiles, ...
