ICT lesson, December 16 Notes

0. Class work

  • Do homework :)
    • Try to do audio part if we haven't covered it today yet
    • Google the answers la

1. Quick recap

  • Data file type for images (i.e. jpg, bmp, etc)
  • Video
    • Combination of audio + images
    • Calculation of size
      • Frame rate
      • Frame size
      • Color depth
      • Comperssion Ratio (e.g. 1:1000)
      • Bitrate
        • Just multiply bitrate and duration.
        • If bitrate not given, multiply everything

2. Video Formats

  • AVI

    • Usually largest file size
    • Sometimes uncompressed, making it large
    • Usually has better quality (due to uncompression)
  • MP4

    • Smaller file size
    • "Acceptable" video quality (how vague!)
  • WMV

    • Usually seen in Windows
    • Stands for "Windows Media Video"
    • Supported by Windows primarily
    • Not really cross-platform
  • MOV

    • Usually seen on Apple software
    • QuickTime video
  • FLV

    • Stands for "Flash Video"
    • Flash is dead now so rest in peace
  • AVI and MP4 is used more commonly nowadays.

  • To make you able to view videos more quicker, streaming has been introduced.

    • It works by caching your videos for few more seconds
    • Streaming != Live.
      • Streaming doesn't have to be live.
    • Data used by streaming = Data used by downloading whole video
      • You don't save any cellular data by streaming
    • Video is downloading when video is downloading
    • Note that it also has limitations.
      • e.g. Net speed makes video unplayable
        • FIX: Buffer time
