Glossary
# A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Several folks suggested one of the things missing in the book was a glossary of terms, so I’ve collected as many terms here as i can (probably better anyway, as I can keep updating).
This area will no doubt always be under some level of construction. First I’ll look just to get a bunch loaded in, then I’ll actually try linking them up to additional sources ’round the web – m’kay?
These terms aren’t just compression related, because too much of this relies on understanding the other pieces of the workflow that fall outside just this narrow slice. So editing, production, broadcasting and other terms will all be included.
By the way, I’m more than happy for this to be a group effort – if anybody feels like volunteering, contact me and i’ll make you an account so you can help edit the glossary.










Well, for better of worse, you have found yourself in my little corner of the web.
RWVC.com is a sister-site for my book, Real World Video Compression, which was published by Peachpit. The goal of this site, much like the book, is to demystify video compression and help those looking to tackle problems they are having converting their video from one format to another.
