New tutorials and musings on video: Here's a first batch, mostly to do with encoding video and audio

• Encoding Timebased Media - fairly practical considerations in encoding video and audio
• Pixel Aspect Ratio - practicalities about how to encode DV-PAL 4:3 and DV-PAL anamorphic correctly
• Interlacing - practicalities about about interlacing
• TV safe area 16x9 - what TV safe area should you use for 16:9 video?
• Dynamic Range Compression

Over time, I've put together quite a bit of info on video and audio. There are some resources local to Cambridge University. If you're at Cambridge (and use Raven), you can see more information here:

• http://wiki.caret.cam.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Video
• https://camtools.caret.cam.ac.uk/portal/site/161b57c7-7a7b-4b4e-8013-71d680065fba
• https://camtools.caret.cam.ac.uk/portal/site/314df77a-f2a9-4b5d-0009-6a0d99b0be13

More generally, I'm hoping to make some of those materials available more openly in the near future, and I'll publish new materials publicly, see above.
