Can video footage be recorded onto a CD-ROM, or included on a Web page?
Video footage (and audio) can be placed onto a CD-ROM or a Web page fairly easily, as long as certain steps are followed. The video or audio first has to be digitized and then edited to an appropriate length. This media file is then compressed into a format that reduces file size considerably while still maintaining a relatively high degree of image quality. Different settings are used, based upon the delivery mechanism and type of computer that the video will be played back on.
