Abstract: Abstract: Some talk about video compression as if it were one thing. It is worth reviewing the reality—video compression is a large number of things, good and bad, strategically applied in a number of different ways in a best-effort attempt to glean the best displayed picture out of the least transmitted data. Because channel space remains so highly valued, effective use of small channel space is greatly desired in video. This paper is the result first of technical conversations around the coffee machine and later lectures to my telecommunications, videoconferencing, and distances education classes at the California State University, Hayward campus. Whether the material in this paper is new to you, a limited relearning past experience, or a reawakening memories half faded, video compression is here to stay and, I feel, a topic well worth the overview.
