4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction to video compression techniques,
This review is from: Video Compression (Hardcover)
Definitely, an excellent introductory book on video compressionfundamentals. The book is very well written in a simple and clearway. It explains the basics of audio, image and video compression techniques, with a minimum of math. However, you won't find detailed implementation issues, and it has some mismatches in the examples and in the formulas used. If you know nothing or little about video compression and you don't want to mess with complicated math, this is the book you should read.

Definitely for beginners, leaving many details out,
By Duy Cuong Nguyen (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Video Compression (Hardcover)
This book is definitely NOT for anyone above a beginner interested in the techniques of MPEG video compression. It is at least organized well, starting off with information theory, then JPEG and finally MPEG-1 & 2 compression. However, the book gets more vague as you work through it. I was mostly satisified with the sections on information theory, but I found it starting to lack with JPEG and finally very lacking and vague with MPEG compression. Phrases like "beyond the scope of this book" cropped up more and more. I am very familiar with communication theory so I could fill in many of the details, but beginners will have to take many of the concepts for granted.

Definitely for beginners only!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Video Compression (Hardcover)
With its large fonts and large spacing between lines, this book looks more for students who need an introduction to MPEG and JPEG. Nothing useful in here. Everything could be found on the web for free! Considering its price, this book is a very big and not to say expensive disappointment.
