[OT] Understanding Codecs (was Re: .mov on Windows)

Hi Dan,

Check out the CD-Rom available at http://www.lynda.com on "QuickTime 
Compression Principles," particularly the chapter on "Compressing CG 
Footage" (CG= Computer Graphics). The whole CD is pretty interesting in 
terms of compression types and uses, including audio compression. They 
also have a nice CD-ROM on "Learning Compressor", which is a great 
compressing tool.

Good Luck,
Dan
