Video Compression is a critical piece of the video delivery pipeline ensuring that the quality is maintained while reducing the cost of delivering data over the internet. In the Video Compression category, we look at different compression techniques, codecs, and talk to the people involved in codec development and deployment.
The LCEVC Codec (MPEG-5 Part 2) or “Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding” is one of the three new codecs being introduced by MPEG (others being Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and Essential Video Coding (EVC)) with the aim of increased compression efficiency for existing codecs at little to no increase in coding complexity by the use […]

Video compression is one of the most important aspects of video production. The need for high-quality visuals and sound in order to capture a viewer’s attention can often be hindered by the data limitations faced by streaming services like YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo. This article explains the importance of video compression through a practical exercise

ABR stands for Adaptive Bit-Rate streaming, and it broadly describes the process by which the quality and bitrate of video and audio are adaptively varied in response to fluctuations in the network conditions to ensure smooth delivery over the internet. It is very different from how CBR and VBR operate and an understanding of ABR
