What are some good resources to learn about implementing a video encoder/decoder from scratch?

- danielsokil 6y agoThank You!
- qppo 6y agoHow much math are you comfortable with? Codecs are about packing the most information into the smallest energy, which is a bit of a task.
- danielsokil 6y agoI'm currently refreshing on math topics because of that, I do not mind very technical resources. I find there is not a lot of information online regarding low-level details of video codecs, having any resources is greatly appreciated.
- tpetry 6y agoThe creator of lz4 is blogging constantly on compression algorithms, maybe you could start with this as it is a lot easier to understand.
