"A complete professional 'bible' on all aspects of audio and video compression using MPEG technology, including the MPEG-4 standard and, in this second edition, H-264.
The clarity of explanation and depth of technical detail combine to make this book an essential and definitive reference work." The MPEG Handbook is both a theoretical and practical treatment of the subject.
Fundamental knowledge is provided alongside practical guidance on how to avoid pitfalls and poor quality. The often neglected issues of reconstructing the signal timebase at the decoder and of synchronizing the signals in a multiplex are treated fully here.
