2. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   Data compression. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [ 1] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [ 2] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

3. Comparison of video codecs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_codecs

   Α video codec is software or a device that provides encoding and decoding for digital video, and which may or may not include the use of video compression and/or decompression. Most codecs are typically implementations of video coding formats . The compression may employ lossy data compression, so that quality-measurement issues become important.

4. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. The different versions of the photo of the cat on ...

5. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

   Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

6. Prism Video Converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Video_Converter

   Prism is a multi-format video converter developed by NCH Software for Windows and Mac OS. It offers converting tools for instant media conversions. [ 1] Prism Video Converter can handle large and high-quality resolution media files. [ 2] It provides built-in compressor and adjuster settings, allowing users to customize and optimize their videos ...

7. Video codec - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codec

   A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only decompresses is a decoder . The compressed data format usually conforms to a standard ...

8. Defragmentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation

   Defragmentation. In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the degree of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments, extents ). It also attempts to create larger regions of free ...

9. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   Lossless compression. Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [ 1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only ...
