About video and audio encoding and compression
Recording video and audio to a digital format involves balancing quality with file size and bitrate. Most formats use
compression to reduce file size and bitrate by selectively reducing quality. Compression is essential for reducing the size
of movies so that they can be stored, transmitted, and played back effectively.
When exporting a movie file for playback on a specific type of device at a certain bandwidth, you must first choose an
encoder (codec). Various encoders use different compression schemes to compress the information. Each encoder has
a corresponding decoder that decompresses and interprets the data for playback.
A wide range of codecs is available; no single codec is best for all situations. For example, the best codec for compressing
cartoon animation is generally not efficient for compressing live-action video.
