Distributed video coding (DVC) represents a paradigm shift in video compression, wherein the computational burden is transferred from the encoder to the decoder. This approach exploits the inherent ...

This article assumes a basic understanding of video compression algorithms. For an intro to video coders, see How video compression works. This article is an introduction to On2's VP6 codec, one of ...

The JPEG format for encoding still images was standardized during the 1980s and 1990s. It uses the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which was developed at the end of the 1970s, and Huffman encoding.
