CompareVideo

Please study examples of video compression at different quality levels of a U. CA Berkeley promotional videotape.

Alternatively, in the lab, look at and compare the two files on the server disk, at locations:
Assignments/CS4984/bjovi1.mov, bjovi2.mov which give an initial
and compressed version of a 3.6 Meg Quicktime 2.0 Video taken from the

Bon Jovi home page
, under Video Snippets, namely the Crossroads TV Spot.
You can do this most effectively by running Simple Player from On Guard,
and opening up both of the files, so that you can compare the beginning
and end frames and other places in between.

Please write a sentence or two, describing specific artifacts or parts of the second video that degrade, relative to the first. Feel free to talk about color, frame rate, motion, and image quality. You may need to get assistance from the instructor to configure Netscape to properly launch MoviePlayer.
