FEATURES OF COMPRESSION

The ratios between data rates used for authoring video and for distributing compressed videos can be huge. Essentially compressing a video is taking away from the original video and often only small percentages of the original video data remain.

In addition, different types of compressed video may vary in bit rate.

Video format is distinct from compression type: i.e. one video format may support multiple compression types and ratios, and a type of compression may be used in multiple formats. But most standard video formats include requirements that specify compression types and data rates.

DVD FORMATS

Extremely popular format

With technological developments DVD capacities are increasing

A DVD that plays in a DVD player = a DVD‐Video

One that plays in a computer = DVD‐ROM (specifically computer‐formatted disc

Hybrid DVD‐Video/DVD‐ROM discs allow for both

DVD‐Video discs = mastered in National Television System Committee (NTSC) format or Phase Alternating Line (PAL) format

VideoCD FORMATS

Older disc‐based format

Lower compression and higher resolution ratio than DVD = lower quality

Can play in most devices
