Video Compression from Scratch — Motion Compensation and the GOP
Compressing thirty separate photographs a second gets nowhere near today's delivery bitrates. Why frame differencing breaks, what a motion vector actually carries, I/P/B frames and the GOP, and what CBR, VBR and CRF each hold constant — ending at the keyframe interval a delivery engineer has to choose.
