Optimizing the Digital Video Publishing Process: Coupling MPEG Video Encoding to Video Editing

Mauro Bonorai

The video distribution industry is going digital, opening new markets and distribution opportunities for content providers. Video compression, also known as encoding, makes digital video distribution viable, reducing video data down to fit bandwidth-constrained media such as CD's and ISDN lines. Little or no coupling has been developed between video editing and MPEG video compression. Standard edit decision lists (EDL's) feature information very useful to the encoding task. Coupling editing and encoding will yield superior image quality and productivity and will help the industry bring to market new and compelling interactive products.
