Multimedia • Three “technologies“ • Graphics (images) • Audio • Video
Multimedia File Size • How much does it matter? • Impact of delivery method • “Local” files • No concern if on hard drive • Quickest load time • Other storage varies • CD, Zip, flash drive, network • Non-local files • Moving among computers • Download time from web
Graphics Files • Size depends on • Image size (pixels) • Color depth (1-16M colors) • File format used (jpg, etc) • “full screen” x “full color” • 640*480*(24/8) = 921,600 bytes (nominal)
Graphics Size Example • Impact of file type for 640x480 image • Calculated = 921,600 bytes • BMP = 901K • GIF = 219K • 256 color max • JPG = 67K • Which format is “best?”
Digital Audio • Quality Standard = CD • CD = 44,100kHz, 16-bit, stereo • 1 min = ca. 10MB! • 172kb/sec • FM Radio = 22,050kHz, 8-bit, mono • 1 min = ca. 1.25MB • 22kb/sec • Telephone = 11.025kHz, 8-bit, mono • 1 min = ca. 625K
File Size & Download Time(Optimum Conditions) Broadband Modem Typical song would take nearly 250 sec to download with T1 before playback can begin.
Digital Video • What is it? • Analog video — digitized • Most common • Original digital video • Newer technology • Catching on very rapidly
Digital Video Benefits • Inexpensive computer hardware to create • Non-linear editing w/software • Just another (large) file = transmission potential (sort of) • FTP • email • web pages • More flexible (hyper) use
To Create Digital Video • Hardware • AnalogDigitizing Gear • $50 - $1000+ • Digital camcorder + IEEE 1394 • Firewire™ or iLink™ • Mavica & other digital ‘still’ cameras • PC / web cameras (“golf balls”)
To Create Digital Video • Software • Comes with hardware & XP • Capture first, then edit • Not always same software • Varies a lot (learning curve) • Match to need, time & skill
Digital Video Issues • Image quality (e.g., jagged lines) • Limited resizing (pixels, jerky) • Differing formats / architectures • Proprietary compression schemes • Broadway AVI, M-JPEG • Storage requirements / download time
Digital Video Files • Video = “frames” • How many / sec? • Cf individual graphic image file size • Video = ++MB
Digital Video Image Size • Size (on screen) • Pixel dimensions • Common Sizes • 160 x 120 (1/16) • 320 x 240 (1/4) • 640 x 480 (‘full’ screen) • 720 x 480 (“DVD” wide screen) • What the viewer really sees? • Depends on screen resolution
Digital Video Formats • QuickTime (mov) • Compatibility issues • Video for Windows (avi) • No further development • MPEG (mpg, mpeg, mp#) • MPG1 = general use, Video CD • MPG2 = DVD • Streaming • Real vs MS vs QT • Initial or convert
DV File SizeFactors • Image pixel dimensions (size) • FPS – how to choose, if possible? • File format (more later) • AVI to streaming (per software) • Compression scheme (codec) • Within AVI & QT, streaming • Audio sampling (quality)
Impact of File Size Modem Broadband 1 min video could take minutes to download
Digital Media • How to avoid “downloading”? • Can’t truly – files not local • Can avoid complete download • Streaming Media • Playback begins quickly • Download to buffer • FIFO • Competing Formats
Original vs Real (low action)22 sec. Real (28K) 56K AVI (IR32) 1.04MB 5 fps MPEG1 Larger size 3.17MB Real (56K) 93K
Original vs Real (average)40 sec Real 28.8 105K Real 56K 176K AVI (Cinepak) 24.6MB MPEG1 6.18MB Real LAN 778K
