Second Edition
By
John Watkinson, Reading, UK International consultant in audio, video and data recording.
Description
A complete, professional 'bible' on all aspects of audio and video compression using MPEG technology, including the MPEG-4 standard and,
in this second edition, H-264. The clarity of explanation and depth of technical detail combine to make this book an essential and definitive
reference work.
THE MPEG HANDBOOK is both a theoretical and practical treatment of the subject. Fundamental knowledge is provided alongside
practical guidance on how to avoid pitfalls and poor quality. The often-neglected issues of reconstructing the signal timebase at the
decoder and of synchronizing the signals in a multiplex are treated fully here.
Previously titled MPEG-2, the book is frequently revised
to cover the latest applications of the technology.
Audience
Audio, video, broadcasting, computing and communications technicians and engineers.
Contents
Chapter 1: Introduction to compression; Chapter 2: Fundamentals; Chapter 3: Processing for compression; Chapter 4: Audio compression;
