Short summary of Pianeta Amiga 2001 fair : Comment 37 of 39 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Rafo on 23-Oct-2001 19:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (Bill Hoggett): Does Someone here know what AVI means actually ?
"Audio and Video Interleave".
It's no video, it's no format, compression scheme, it's just a multiplexing system.
AVI uses 2 codecs : 1 for audio, 1 for video.
Some video codec use no compression, like YUV, some use a very tough one (Like MPEG-4).
It's the same for audio : you can use either no compression at all or any kind of compression there is a codec for.
This means that "I can play 2 AVIs simultaneously" is just like "I can play 2 sound at the same sime". If it's 2 WAV or 2 MP3s, it's a completely different story for the CPU.
So it is for AVI. You can have YUV+WAV one way (you need a fast harddrive though), and MPEG-4+MP3 another way. It would also be a completely different story.
You can use YUV for video and MP3 for audio, just choose when you encode your video. It'll still be an AVI file when you finish.
If what MooVID at Pianeta Amiga showed was 2 3ivX movies at a good resolution, it's just fantastic as it proves a high superiority when compared to any of our current amigas.
Since we have no idea what was exactly the format used in these videos, I'll just say it just doesn't prove a goddamn thing. |
