The Art of Video Encoding: Optimizing MPEG Video Compression through Human-Assist Methods
The video industry is going digital, opening a world of new markets and distribution opportunities for content providers. Digital video compression is the key enabling technology behind this trend, trimming bulky video data down to fit bandwidth-constrained media such as CDs and coaxial cable. This paper explores a variety of “human-assisted” techniques and how they can be employed in a digital video publishing environment to dramatically increase the quality of the MPEG compressed video. It first describes MPEG encoding and some of the problems that can be encountered in the process, and then discusses several different tools that can be used to improve quality. It concludes with an overview of the entire compression process.
