Video Compression?

[imgod22222]

Well if it's about getting the best visual quality then,
Why did we move from CRTs to LCDs and Plasmas?
CRTs support higher refresh rates, and have much smaller pixel pitch. So you can get higher fps, and have more pixels, thus making a clearer picture, and CRTs are alot cheaper. Along with that they have the best viewing angle. So besides the fact that CRTs are just bigger and heavier, why do so many things have a DVI port and no longer a VGA port?

No, it's all about being able to keep something as small as we can get it. Thus, we made compression standards so we can store more video on a media. And we made contraptions (Practically) everyone in the us owns called ipods.
