 COMPRESSION
MULTIMEDIA FILES C A N BE QUITE LARGE A N D LARGER FILES M E A N M O R E
S T O R A G E S P A C E A N D S L O W E R DOWNLOADS.COMPRESSION IS THE
P R O C E S S O F R E M O V I N G DATA TO S HR IN K THE FILE S I Z E . C O M P R E S S I O N
S C H E M E S C A N BE LOSSY O R LOSSIESS.
REASONS FOR COMPRESSION
TO RE DU SE FILE SIZE
TO SAVE S P A C E O N DISK
TO I N C R E A S E DATA TRANSFER SPEED
TO ALLOW REAL TRANSFER AT A G I V E N RATE
 TYPES OF COMPRESSION
LOSSY:- C O M P R E S S I O N IS U S E D WITH M U S I C , PHOTOS,
VIDEOS, M E D I C A L IMAGES, S C A N N E D D O C U M E N T S A N D FAX
MACHINES.

LOSSLESS:- C O M P R E S S I O N IS U S E D WITH DATABASES,

EMAILS, SPREADSHEETS, O F F I C E D O C U M E N T S A N D S O U R C E
CODE.
TWO TYPES OF COMPRESSION METHODS:

LO SSY:- IT C REATES SM ALLER FILES BY DISC ARDIN G SO M E IN FO RM ATIO N ABO UT

ORIGINAL IMAGE. MORE COMMONLY USED TO COMPRESS MULTIMEDIA DATA (AUDIO, VIDEO
& IMAGES), (ESPECIALLY IN STREAMING MEDIA & INTERNET TELEPHONY)

LOSSLESS:- MP3, WMA, O G G WORBIS (.OGG). REDUNDANT AND NON-AUDITORY DATA IS REMOVED
TO ALLOW FOR MORE COMPACT STORAGE, SOME DATA HAS BEEN LOST. LOSSLESS STORES DATA IN
LESS SPACE BY ELIMINATING UNNECESSARY DATA WITHOUT DEGRADATION IN QUALITY AND DATA
IS COMPRESSED WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF DATA. (PNG, GIF, ZIP).
LOSSLESS COMPRESSION ALLOWS THE ORIGINAL FILE TO BE RECOVERED IN FULL.
