Video Formats

• AVI (Audio Video Interleave )
• Computer graphics animation format used in
  Microsoft.
• The format interleaves digitized video frames (or
  computer-generated frames) and synchronized audio
  in one file.
• MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Groups) MPEG
  represents digital video and audio signals for
  consumer distribution.

5
Video Formats

• Mpeg-1
• The quality at standard VCD resolution and
  bit-rate is near the quality and performance of a
  VHS tape.
• Mpeg-2
• MPEG2 multichannel audio is one of the digital
  surround sound system available on DVD discs,
  another option for Dolby Digital.
• MPEG-4 compression type, DivX, XviD are both
  MPEG4 codecs. Ex. WMV
• MPEG-4 was aimed primarily at low bit-rate video
  communications however, its scope was later
  expanded to be much more of a multimedia coding
  standard. MPEG-4 is efficient across a variety of
  bit-rates ranging from a few kilobits per second
  to tens of megabits per second.

Frame Rate Video Standards

• NSTC (National Television System Committee )
• North America Standard
• 30 fps
• DV NTSC video is 720 x 480
• PAL
• Europe Standard
• 25 fps
• DV PAL video is 720 x 576

Definitions

• MP (Megapixels) means "one million pixels" and is
  used when describing digital camera capability.
  Digital cameras boast photo abilities over 9
  megapixels.
• PPI or "pixels per inch" is the term you will see
  most often when selecting a resolution for your
  images in photo editing software.
• Pixel is an abbreviation for "picture element."
• Millions of pixels make up the image of paper and
  text that you are viewing on your screen right
  now.
• DPI specifically refers to how many dots of ink
  will print per inch. The higher the number, the
  sharper the image will be.
• Most ink jet printers today are capable of
  printing 1200 to 4800 dpi this means great
  results for images with 200-300 ppi.

Pixel/Resolution Printer Setting

• 2 MP 1600 x 1200 pixels
• Great Quality 4 x 6 inches, 5 x 7 inches
• Good Quality 8 x 10 inches
• 3 MP 2048 x 1536 pixels
• Great Quality 8 x 10 inches
• Good Quality 10 x 13 inches
• 5 MP 2592 x 1944 pixels
• Great Quality 10 x 13 inches
• Good Quality 13 x 19 inches

Resolution con.

• Consider one thing when selecting resolutionyou
  can always scale down your resolution but you
  cannot increase the resolution of an image.
• Bigger is better if you can accommodate the extra
  file sizes on your computer and printer.
• For best results, a good number to remember when
  printing an image is 300 pixels/inch at actual
  size.
• When resizing an image with photo editing
  software, set the dimensions of the image to the
  print size first (e.g. 5 x7) and then set the
  resolution to 300 pixels/inch. The lower the
  pixels per inch, the blurrier the image will
  appear on paper.
