"For the individual new to compressing video to DVD or
to their various media players whether they be iPods,
Play stations or mobile phones; for the experienced
user still figuring out the best way to deliver media
content to a client; for the You Tube user who frets
at the loss of resolution when uploading, Andy Beach's
Real World Compression will go a long ways towards
alleviating much of the insecurity and indecision that
often goes hand in hand with field of compression.
High marks for this book."
