[–] qppo 6y ago ↗ How much math are you comfortable with? Codecs are about packing the most information into the smallest energy, which is a bit of a task. [–] danielsokil 6y ago ↗ I'm currently refreshing on math topics because of that, I do not mind very technical resources. I find there is not a lot of information online regarding low-level details of video codecs, having any resources is greatly appreciated.

[–] tpetry 6y ago ↗ The creator of lz4 is blogging constantly on compression algorithms, maybe you could start with this as it is a lot easier to understand. [–] danielsokil 6y ago ↗ I'm guessing you are referring to: http://fastcompression.blogspot.com
