Compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by removing redundancy and irrelevancy. Redundancy occurs when data is sent when it’s not needed. Irrelevancy frequently occurs in audio and ...

In digital video compression, using 10 bits to compress the color information in a pixel. Even though most pixels are only eight bits, the extra two bits in the compression process provides for higher ...

As mentioned previously, the characteristics of typical audio signals vary from time to time and therefore we must expect the required bit rate for lossless compression to vary as well. Since the bit ...

So, I'm fine tuning some audio/video compression settings and I'm not sure how all the settings fit together. I'm using Windows Media 9.1 Professional, so some of this may be specific to that ...
