Theencoding method above does not compress the file
anda typical storage format is WAV (Waveform Audio File
Format), whichis used on PCs. However, musicfiles are
often compressed to allaw for eficientstreaming across
theintemetand te enable ots of rusic fies to bestored
Con a single storage medium. Compression reduces the Fle
site.
There aretwo types of compress lessy compression
antl lossless compression, Lossless compression reduces
thefile size without losing any qvalliy, Dusit car only
reduce the fle size by about 50%.
Lossy compression reduces tha fle size by reducing the
bit rate, which means chat some of the quality is lost
Most human ears won't beable fo detect the loss In
quality, but an experienced musician would netice. When
compressing an aucho fle itis possible Lo choose the bt
rate. Abit rate of 128kbps is equivalent to whal would be
heard on the radio.
ACD file originally hasa bit rots of 14 Mbp:
(£411 200 9p3), This fs reduced Lo L26KbGIs (178 000
kops). The onginal filesize was3/MB, To calculate
the change in tile size, divide by the original bit rate
and multialy bythe new bitrate.
Compressed ile size = 37 +1411 200 128000
25 Mb.
Ir this example, the file size has been recluced to
approximately 1096 of the original sie.
Video
When video is encoded it needsto stare images as
wel as sound. Images are stored 2s rames. 4 standard
quality video would normally have 28 treme:
(pa. High defn tion (40) uses $0 fos ancl fps. The
higher te number of Tames per second, the more
storage tat is required, but tre higrer quality the video

he size of tre imege is also important. AH video wil
have an image size of 1920 pinclswide-and 1080 pixels
high. The nigher the imagesize, te morestorage that Is
required, Other common resolutions include:
+ 7680 x 4329 8K /ultra High definition)
