2. Uncompressed video - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncompressed_video

   Uncompressed video is digital video that either has never been compressed or was generated by decompressing previously compressed digital video. It is commonly used by video cameras, video monitors, video recording devices (including general-purpose computers), and in video processors that perform functions such as image resizing, image rotation, deinterlacing, and text and graphics overlay.

3. Comparison of video codecs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_codecs

   Α video codec is software or a device that provides encoding and decoding for digital video, and which may or may not include the use of video compression and/or decompression. Most codecs are typically implementations of video coding formats. The compression may employ lossy data compression, so that quality-measurement issues become important.

4. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. The different versions of the photo of the cat on ...

5. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only of an approximation of ...

6. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   In information theory, data compression, source coding, [ 1 ] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [ 2 ] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

7. Video compression picture types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression_picture...

   Three types of pictures (or frames) are used in video compression: I, P, and B frames. An I‑frame (Intra-coded picture) is a complete image, like a JPG or BMP image file. A P‑frame (Predicted picture) holds only the changes in the image from a previous frame. For example, in a scene where a car moves across a stationary background, only the ...
