Reviews for A Practical Guide to Video and Audio Compression: From Sprockets and Rasters to Macro Blocks

""Cliff Wootton's book is great in giving the uninitiated reader an overall review of the key issues relating to audio and video formats, encoding, distributing, storing and rendering...For a non-professional reader the book is very useful. It is relatively easy to read and is well structured. It provides easy-to-follow practical application guidelines and useful step-by-step instructions on best coding and compression practices."" - EBU Technical Review
