One of the keys to this is  delivering video in the correct format with the proper compression for  that delivery. Real World Video Compression is one of the first books  on this topic to demystify the various approaches to compression. It  begins by describing the basic concepts of video compression, explains  why you might choose a particular compression tool over another, and  covers important workflow practices. After the groundwork is laid,  readers will learn how to compress their video according to the  specific requirements of their projects and will learn some best  practices by following the author's own tips and recipes. Experts in  the field lend their own solutions in several sidebars throughout the  book, making this a valuable learning tool for anyone learning to  encode video, whether they are bloggers, DVD authors, video editors, or  students.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eContents at a Glance\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: Understanding Video and Audio.\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: The Language of Compression\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: Best Practices\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: Preprocessing\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: John Howell\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Compression Tools\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: Nico Puertollano\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: Compressing for DVDs\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: Ben Waggoner\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven: Compressing for the Web\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: Jim Rohner\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eight: Compressing for Mobile\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: Ryanne Hodson\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Nine: Compressing for Set-Top Boxes\u003cbr\u003e Interview with a Compressionist: Andy Beach\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"In the highly accessible REAL WORLD VIDEO COMPRESSION, Andy Beach  \u003cbr\u003e illuminates the dark-art of encoding and provides candid insight from  \u003cbr\u003e working professionals.
