Freelancer Austerberry explains the concepts, processes, technologies, and lingo required to stream pictures and sound to the masses via the internet. Audio and video encoding and formats, webcasting, audio and video compression standards, and consumer media players are covered, for broadcasters, web developers, and project managers. The book offers plenty of technical depth, supported by illustrations and flowcharts. Later chapters discuss protecting digital rights, and creating revenue through ad insertion. Annotation c.
