Template talk:Compression formats

message: I've created a new version of this template at Template:MediaCompression/v2draft. I'll move it to this page in a few days if nobody has any issues with it. --Tom Edwards 12:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It to big and likely wont work well small screen resolution not to mention you've hard-coded the background color.  I would be generally unopposed to breaking up the template.  -Dispenser 18:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a fair point with the colours (although, in my defence, it is a Wiki limitation). But while the draft design might not be brilliant at low resolutions, I personally consider that a lower priority than the template being easily readable - which in its current state it really is not, on anyone's screen! --Tom Edwards 18:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, done. I replaced background colours with dotted borders, which doesn't quite look as good but will work cross-theme. We really need some classes for this sort of thing! --Tom Edwards 16:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't JFIF, JIF, and Exif be added to the MM Container section? algocu 16:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: EXIF isn't a container format; it's a format for metadata tags similar to the one used for TIFFs. (I'm not saying the other two are container formats; I just don't know.) grendel|khan 01:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Have a look at this one. I used nested tables inside  in order to get the show/hide and v-d-e buttons. This version has less whitespace than the current one, so it's not quite so huge. Suggestions for colors/themes or styling welcome. Also for how to get the navbox to default to hidden. (Actually, at this size, do we want to default it to hidden?) grendel|khan 02:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redone with {{tl|navbox generic}}. 

message: AIFF is not a compression format. Nor is WAV. But, if we are including those file types (non-compressed) then we need to add in RIFF to the audio only section. Thank you!-Hairchrm 22:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I think MPEG Multichannel and MPEG Surround should not be in this template. I think these formats are not about compression, but about using multiple channels. MPEG Surround can use various compression formats or uncompressed audio. MPEG Multichannel can use only MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer II.
ISO/IEC 23003-1:2007 describes MPEG Surround as an "efficient technology for multi-channel audio compression". "Rather than performing a discrete coding of the individual audio input channels, MPEG Surround captures the spatial image of a multi-channel audio signal into a compact set of parameters that are used to synthesize a high quality multi-channel representation from a transmitted downmix signal."  But I am not sure, if this is a compression format. I think it could be a "compression method". --89.173.64.7 (talk) 09:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I thought they did, but apparently the articles I had in mind were on the multimedia.cx wiki, not on Wikipedia. So that answers my question, thanks. Conquerist (talk) 17:10, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

text: I ended up creating the article for Apple Video and I dug up an article for the QuickTime Animation codec. I've tried to find their official names, but there is not too much to go on. The best I could find was this file on the archived Apple website. On Page 115 it lists the two codecs as "Apple video" and "Animation", respectively. "Animation" on its own is a little vague though. Also the point about QuickTime being a container format is valid, so the edits here  from 18:43, 5 April 2013 and the "QuickTime Animation" page move look good to me.Conquerist (talk) 17:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
