4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for an introduction
This is a good book for providing an introductory overview of data compression (image, video, audio)... The chapters are well written and easily understood.

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly written, hard to follow.
This book just lists up most of the topics related to multimedia, and it's really hard to follow the authors' writing. The organization is bad, so I got frequently lost while reading the book. Too much errta, and wrong figures. The ugliest scientic and/or engineering book I've ever read!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Book to read!!!, July 9, 2005
This is the worst engineering book I have read! The authors do not care to explain any concepts properly. The book is written very badly, no structure and it is hard to comprehend what they are saying. Im sure there are better books to learn about multimedia fundamentals. As far as Iam concerned, Im making a bonfire out of this book once Im done with my semester. Do not buy this book...ever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content but rather poorly written, January 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Multimedia: Computing, Communications and Applications (Textbook Binding)
This book is pretty good in that it has everything you need to know about multimedia systems. However as a text book it isn't very good. The authors could improve their style by taking tips from books by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than WikiPedia, October 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The worst textbook I have ever purchased. The content is extremely shallow yet not comprehensive enough to be a good introduction to multimedia. You can just read the Wiki pages for information about multimedia instead of buying this shabby textbook.
