Video Codec Tutorial Time

Posted by Mark Nelson on 31st March 2006 | Permanent Link

Okay everyone, it’s tutorial time, and this time we’re talking about video codecs. History, usage, implementation, tradeoffs, the works. EE Times has a nice article written by Jeremiah Golston and Dr. Ajit Rao, from Texas Instruments.

These two experts want you to know all about video compression so you can start buying TI DSPs and dumping them into your cell phones, TVs, DVD players, etc. That’s cool, but you don’t have to buy anything to read the fine article. Learn all about MPEG-2, MPEG-4/H.264/AVC, Windows Video, you name it.
