4. 1. Properties of Video Full motion of recording Video player is needed Video vs Animation Quality of Video

5. Video vs Animation Video – Continuous motion breaks up into still pictures Animation – Still pictures combined to become a movie

6. Quality of Video InformationDescriptionTypical value Frame rate# of image / sec.30 fps Image size# of pixels / image320 x 240 (VCD) 640 x 480 (DVD) Color depth# of possible color / pixel 24-bit Sound informationSampling rate and sampling size 44.1kHz 16-bit

7. 2. Video Sources Digital – From digital video camera (DV camcorder) and web cam. Analogue – From TV, Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) and analogue camcorder

8. 2. Video Sources Video capture card – Digital IEEE1394 or USB – Analogue Composite cable (RWY)

9. 3. Size of Video file File size (uncompressed) = Image size x color depth in bit x Frame rate x Duration / 8 bytes

10. 3. Size of Video file e.g. a 1 minute adv. recorded in 320 x 240 pixels, 24-bit color and 30 fps would have an uncompressed file size at least = 320 x 240 x 24 x 30 x 60 /8 = 4.1472 x 10 8 B = 395.5MB

11. 4. Compression of Video Reasons for compression – reduce file size – enable live broadcast on Internet Moving Picture Expert Groups (MPEG) Compression and Decompression (CODEC)
