Chapter 8 rounds up the features of VirtualDub related to video-specific processing. We discussed:
Why the different video formats/standards like PAL and NTSC exist and their relative properties
How to identify the video format of a particular video
How to distinguish between the playback rate of a video and the actual frame rate and how to alter either of these
How interlacing works and how to visually identify it, as well as methods of removing the artifacts it introduces when played back on progressive displays
The importance of calculations in video and how to minimize the degradation of video evident when processing and compressing video
How to fix broken video files
How to override the (de)compression color space to circumvent bugs in codecs
You should congratulate yourself for making it this far; some of the concepts introduced in this chapter are quite technical and difficult to understand!
understand!
