Media encoding is the conversion of video or audio to a compatible digital format for the desired method of delivery. In DVD production it involves taking a master source, such as a videotape or QuickTime file, and creating a digital MPEG-2 stream which is compatible for DVD authoring. The encoding process will ultimately determine how good (or bad) your programs will look.
