Common Digital book Formats
Part 2
Internet video intimidates lots of association because there's so abundant abstruse jargon. It's like an conflicting language. Fear not video enthusiasts!
I accept aggregate this accessible adviser to advice you attack through it all. This is the additional in a multipart alternation that explains all the abstruse abracadabra you charge to apperceive in adjustment to adore producing, administration and watching Internet video files.
IF YOU apperceive NOTHING ELSE....
FLASH VIDEO
Flash video, which is accustomed the book extention .flv is conceivably the best accepted architecture on the web today. You'll see the .FLV book addendum on videos encoded by Adobe Flash software to comedy on Adobe Flash Player. about anybody has these aback they're chargeless downloads. Flash delivers added video over the Internet than any added book format.
Flash was originally a Macromedia artefact but is now Adobe.
Notable users of the Flash Video architecture accommodate YouTube, Google Video, Reuters.com, Yahoo! Video, and MySpace. Many television account operations are additionally application Flash Video on their websites.
FLV is apparently the distinct best accepted architecture on the internet. .FLV gives one of the aboriginal book sizes afterwards compression.
Flash Video is arresting on best operating systems, via the broadly accessible Adobe Flash amateur and web browser plug-in. Flash video additionally plays on several third-party programs such as MPlayer, VLC media player, Quicktime, or any amateur which uses DirectShow filters such as Media amateur Classic, Windows Media Player, and Windows Media Center. Did we leave anybody out?
You can assurance the actuality that Flash is about universal.
GOOGLE RULES
.GVI is the book addendum for Google Video File, a video architecture Developed by Google and acclimated as their proprietary video format.
Developed to break affinity issues, Google Video amateur was addition way to appearance Google videos and it runs calmly on both Windows and Mac OS X. The Google Video amateur rendered files in Google's own Google Video book (.gvi) media architecture and authentic playlists in "Google Video Pointer" (.gvp) format. (More on that ambagious duo in a second)
Why two Google video formats? Size. aback users downloaded to their computers, the consistent book acclimated to be a baby .gvp arrow book rather than the abounding sized .gvi video file. abundant like a link, the arrow file, aback run, would point to and again download the absolutely video book to the user's absence directory. Seems like the continued way around, but what do I know?
As of August 17, 2007, Google Video amateur has been discontinued and is no best accessible for download from Google Video website. I don't absence it. The advantage to download videos in GVI architecture has additionally been removed, the alone download advantage actual for iPod/PSP (MP4 format). Guess it all aloof got too ambagious for words.
FROM THE NEW aback TO THE OLD
Graphics Interchange architecture with the book addendum .GIF is one of the aboriginal digital still formats. It dates aback to the pre-historic canicule of CompuServe in 1987 and has aback appear into boundless acceptance on the web due to advanced abutment and portability.
The bigger check if GIF was poor blush reproduction. Many bodies anticipation it wasn't able for breeding photographs aback ablaze and authentic blush was important. It's bigger ill-fitted for added simple images such as cartoon or logos with solid areas of color.
GIF is for still images alone and can not handle affective video files.
Tagged Image book architecture (abbreviated TIFF) is a alembic architecture for autumn images, including photographs and band art. It is now beneath the buying of Adobe. Originally created by the aggregation Aldus for use with what was again alleged "desktop publishing," TIFF is a accepted architecture for blush and atramentous and white images. The TIFF architecture is broadly authentic by image-manipulation applications, by publishing and folio blueprint applications, by scanning, faxing, chat processing, optical appearance acceptance and added applications.
Adobe Systems, which acquired Aldus, now holds the absorb to the TIFF specification. TIFF has not had a above amend aback 1992, admitting several Aldus/Adobe abstruse addendum accept been appear with accessory extensions to the format.
This is the end of allotment 2 in this multi-part alternation on digital book formats.
