Enhancing
Your Website Using Video and Audio
by William Byers, Explorer Studios
As video and audio compression technology has
been developed and refined, it has become increasingly
easier to produce high-quality video with a minimum of
technical expertise. Instead of high-tech, Hollywood
production studios exclusively being able to produce quality
video for the Web, now even the most casual users can
produce top-notch video.
