This type of text coding determines frequently occurring pairs of bytes such as 're' 'in'. These are replaced by single bytes that dont occur anywhere like the uncommon letter 'x'
This type of statistical coding uses an equal number of bits to represent each symbol. A message of N symbols requires >= log2(N) bits per symbol
The previous answer is good for encoding symbols with non equal probability of occurrence - Yes or No
This data structure is used for huffman coding
In Huffman coding shortest code is assigned to the most frequently occurring character - Yes or No
This iterative process is when processing and quantization steps are repeated iteravely.

Differential encoding is lossless - Yes or No
During JPEG picture preparation, the compression algorithm cuts up the image in separate blocks of pixes that are this dimension - X * X. What is X?
During JPEG picture preparation, name one of the possible ways that planes can be assigned colors.

A JPEG image using YUV or YIQ can use 4:2:3 and 4:1:1 ratio. However these are not the most popular choice. What ratio is?
JPEG quality settings (normal, fine, very fine...) are part of this step in JPEG compression
When decompressing a JPEG image using Inverse DCT, the result is lossy - Yes or No
For transmission, an audio compressor will perform an analog to digital tranformation - Yes or No
Most codecs are lossy - yes or no
The AVI codec however, is lossless - Yes or No
This audio codec is the most common and contains up to 6 discrete channels of sound and supports audio sample rates up to 48 kHz
MP3 digital file using bitrate 128 kbit will result in a file that is how much smaller than the size of a normal cd audio of the same file?

A combination of various techniques that provide representation of sound by using psychoacoustic models to discard or reduce precision of components that are inaudible to human hea
During VBR encoding, when silence is present in the music it is common to drop the bitrate for that particular section - Yes or No
In Joint Stereo Encoding, parts of the spectrum are encoded in mono. These parts are for which the human ear has no directional hearing. These parts include mid-range tones - Yes o
This coding technique was designed to be the successor of the mp3 format and is the default audio format for iPhone, iPod and iTunes.
This audio codec is the most popular lossless one. It will acheive compression rates ranging from 30 to 50%
This video codec was developed in 1992 and was part of Apple's Quicktime video suite. It was designed to encode 320x240 resolution at cd-rom transfer rates. It was used on Sega CD,

MPEG-2 is optimized for all bit-rates - Yes or No
MPEG-2 decoders often cannot play back MPEG-1 - Yes or No
MPEG-4 adds extended support for this language that supports 3d rendering, object oriented composite files, and for DRM. What is this called?
DivX, Xvid and Nero Digital are implementations of this MPEG-4 standard
This alternative standard for video compression is equivalent to MPEG-4 part 10 or MPEG-4 AVC.
This technique used in video compression software is to reduce quality in very bright or dark areas while improving quality in more visual areas.
