Digital standards for audio, video and other multimedia files
Storage hardware standards explained
Here is an explanation of some storage standrds used for multmedia files.
DVD
- Short for digital versatile disc or digital video disc:
This is a type of optical disk technology similar to the CD-ROM. A DVD holds a
minimum of 4.7GB of data, enough for a full-length movie. DVDs are commonly used
as a medium for digital representation of movies and other multimedia
presentations that combine sound with graphics.
The DVD specification supports disks with capacities of from 4.7GB to 17GB and
access rates of 600 KBps to 1.3 MBps. One of the best features of DVD drives is
that they are backward-compatible with CD-ROMs, meaning they can play old
CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, and video CDs, as well as new DVD-ROMs. Newer DVD players
can also read CD-R disks.
DVD uses MPEG-2 to compress video data.
DVD-R - Short for DVD+Recordable: This is a recordable DVD format similar to CD-R. A DVD+R can only record data once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc. The disc cannot be recorded onto a second time. DVD+R and DVD+RW formats are supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha and others.
DVD-RW - Short for DVD-ReWritable, and re-recordable: DVD format similar to CD-RW or DVD+RW. The data on a DVD-RW disc can be erased and recorded over numerous times without damaging the medium. DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM are supported by Panasonic, Toshiba, Apple Computer, Hitachi, NEC, Pioneer, Samsung and Sharp.
Short for DVD+ReWritable, a re-recordable: DVD format similar to CD-RW. The data on a DVD+RW disc can be erased and recorded over numerous times without damaging the medium. DVD+RW and DVD+R formats are supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha and others.
DVD-RAM: A DVD format wherein DVD-RAM discs
can be recorded and erased repeatedly but are only compatible with devices
manufactured by the companies that support the DVD-RAM format. DVD-RAM discs are
typically housed in cartridges. DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM are supported by
Panasonic, Toshiba, Apple Computer, Hitachi, NEC, Pioneer, Samsung and Sharp.
These formats are also supported by the DVD Forum
Storage and transmission formats explained
Here is an explanation of formats used to store video, audio or combined video/audio files (multimedia files) on the PC, for streaming transmission of such files from a central server, or for storing multimedia files on CDs or DVDs.
AVI or "Audio Video Interleave": This is the file format for Microsoft's Video for Windows standard. It is an proprietary and Microsoft Windows spesific audio video standard designed by Microsoft for storing video and audio information. Files in this format have an .AVI extension. These files are limited to 320 x 240 resolution, and 30 frames per second, neither of which is adequate for full screen, full motion video. However, Video for Windows does not require any special hardware, making it the lowest common denominator for multimedia applications. Many multimedia producers use this format because it allows them to sell their products to the largest base of users. Acceptable aplication support. A competing software - only in video format is QuickTime. Videos stored in the AVI format have the extension .avi. Characteristics: Bad quality to size ratio and subjective quality impression.
ASF-WMA/WMV: This is Microsoft's Advanced Streaming format. A file in this format can contain Video, Audio, Slide Shows and synchronized events. WMA (Windows Media Audio) contains audio. WMV (Windows Media file with Audio/Video) is the same as the ASF except it can be downloaded instead of streamed from a server far away.
DivX is a trademark of DivXNetworks, Inc: DivX is a digital video compression format based on the MPEG-4 technology. DivX files can be downloaded over high-speed lines in a relatively short time without sacrificing the quality of the digital video.
IVF (Intel Video Technology): This format was originally the Indeo codec developed by Intel. Later Ligos ( www.ligos.com ) has taken over the development of the Intel codecs.
MOV (Quick Time Movie File Extension): This is a video and animation system developed by Apple Computer. QuickTime is built into the Macintosh operating system and is used by most Mac applications that include video or animation. PCs can also run files in QuickTime format, but they require a special QuickTime driver. QuickTime supports most encoding formats, including Cinepak, JPEG and MPEG. Apple's QuickTime has superior audio/video quality, it is compatible with Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers and supports various media formats.
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3: MP3s are digital audio files that have been shrunken down while still maintaining their original sound quality. The file shrinking technology itself was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. Before there were MP3s, digital audio files took hours to download. But on a 56K modem, most MP3s can download in just a few minutes. MP3s are widely recognized as the most popular format for storing and listening to music on the World Wide Web. There are three types of MPEG audio encoding, layer I, layer II and layer III in increasing order of sound quality and encoding time. Layer I is the "PASC" compression used in Digital Compact Cassettes and Layer II is the "MUSICAM" compression format. Layer III (aka "MP3") has recently become very popular on the Internet due to its combination of high quality and high compression ratio. It can be downloaded from many World Wide sites and can be played using software available for most operating systems. Characteristics: Acceptable quality to size ratio, good subjective quality impression. Very good application support. Videos stored in the MPEG format have the extension .mpg or .mpeg.
RealAudio: This is a proprietary encoding format created by 'Progressive Networks'. It was the first compression format to support live audio over the Internet and thus gained considerable support, but it requires proprietary server software in order to provide the real-time playback facility. It also supports repositioning during real-time playback. The system is implemented as a client/server architecture. The RealAudio server incorporates an encoder which compresses sound into RealAudio files. The client side is a web browser plug-in or add-on (a recent version of 'Internet Explorer' apparently has built-in support for RealAudio) which allows the stream of data sent from the server to be uncompressed and output using the normal sound facilities of the computer, such as a sound card. Characteristics: Good quality to size ratio, good subjective quality impression. Bad application support.
Real Video: is a format, but also a total streaming technology developed by RealNetworks for transmitting live video over the Internet. RealVideo uses a variety of data compression techniques and works with both normal IP connections as well as IP Multicast connections. RealVideo 8 offers enriched video quality and smoother playback over all types of connections, from regular dial-up to broadband Internet connections. Picture controls let you lighten up dark scenes and adjust flesh tones. Great for Web cams or reality shows. Sharpen up fuzzy video. No matter what speed Internet connection you have, RealPlayer 8 offers the highest-quality audio and video experience available online. Videos stored in the RealVideo format have the extension .rm or .ram.
RealPlayer: This system has very good audio/video quality. It is compatible with Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers. It supports various media formats. However, it provides only three preset video viewing window sizes. RealPlayer is the only streaming media player that plays both RealAudio and RealVideo, the leading formats for Internet audio and video, giving you access to more than 85% of the streaming media programming on the Web.
VIV (Vivo Video) this is an old format and pretty bad quality, but one of the first to be designed and used for Internet streaming and thus it is still in use in a few areas. However, it is not very compatible with current browser standards, mainly because development on the format ceased back in 1997.
