Video Compression
Video compression is a technique used to reduce the file size of video content without significantly affecting its quality. This process involves removing redundant data and using algorithms to encode the video more efficiently. By compressing videos, they can be stored and transmitted more easily, making them more accessible for streaming and sharing.
There are two main types of video compression: lossy and lossless. Lossy compression reduces file size by permanently removing some data, which can lead to a decrease in quality. In contrast, lossless compression retains all original data, ensuring that the video quality remains intact, but typically results in larger file sizes.
