This review is from: A Practical Guide to Video and Audio Compression: From Sprockets and Rasters to Macro Blocks (Paperback)
I like to qualify myself before writing this review, I am not a video engineer. I had a problem and I used this book to educate myself on how to solve it.
My problem: many years of video recordings from family videos to experimental visual art, all of these recordings in various formats, 8mm, VHS, DV-tape you name it and I had it. I needed to convert them all to a safe format and make it all "future compatible". Solution: This book came in very handy, to identify what I have and find a serious solution for video conversion. The book consists of a whopping 39 well written chapters and 14 very useful appendices. It starts off with a very detailed introduction to compression in chapter one which also maps out the book so you know what chapters to read next. I can actually write a booklet about this book, to keep it short and sweet, I believe this book is very informative and a must for all those who are trying to compress important video. Knowing the difference between lossless and lossy compressions or mpeg1 and H.264 codec can save you from converting videos to a format you may regret in the future. Best Fishes and thank you for reading. |
