I'm no video codec expert either, but the author of this article, "Monty" Montgomery, has a real gift for technical explanation. '
Here's a video he created a few years ago, taking apart some popular misconceptions about how digital audio works: https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml
- hanklazard 9y agoI knew I recognized his name! That digital audio video (series?) was so fantastic and I loved the hardware setups that he used to make his points.
- phkahler 9y ago>> Monty" Montgomery, has a real gift for technical explanation. He does. I love his posts. Some say you don't really understand something until you can explain it to someone else. By that metric he's probably in the top 5 codec folks in the world today.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoSome take it further and go "I want to really know this newfangled X stuff, gonna teach a class on it."
- Bromskloss 9y agoWhat I appreciate most of all in that video is that he has carefully considered his words, not just to make a lay audience able to follow, but also so that what he says is _precisely_ correct.
- xiphmont 9y agoLuc Trudeau, who wrote most of the deeper technical papers and specifications on CfL at Xiph, has a real gift too. I'm riding his technical prose in this post. If you liked my update, you'll like his papers linked in 'Additional Resources'. They're some of the best and clearest technical documents I've ever read.
