What is video compression?

Video compression refers to reducing the quantity of data used to represent video images and is a straightforward combination of image compression and motion compensation. Video Compression algorithms take advantage of the fact that there is minimal difference from “one” frame to the next. The first frame is encoded and then the sequence of differences between frames. This is also known as “inter-frame” coding. For DVDs, the original video is compressed and rendered in the MPEG-2 format that is the industry standard.
