<p>Historically, video was stored as an analog signal on <a href="Magnetic_tape" title="Magnetic tape">magnetic tape</a>. Around the time when the <a href="Compact_disc" title="Compact disc">compact disc</a> entered the market as a digital-format replacement for analog audio, it became feasible to also store and convey video in digital form. Because of the large amount of storage and bandwidth needed to record and convey raw video, a method was needed to reduce the amount of data used to represent the raw video. Since then, <a href="Engineers" class="mw-redirect" title="Engineers">engineers</a> and <a href="Mathematicians" class="mw-redirect" title="Mathematicians">mathematicians</a> have developed a number of solutions for achieving this goal that involve compressing the digital video data.

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="Video_coding_format" title="Video coding format">Video coding format</a></div>
<p>Video codecs seek to represent a fundamentally analog data set in a digital format. Because of the design of analog video signals, which represent <a href="Luminance_(video)" class="mw-redirect" title="Luminance (video)">luminance</a> (luma) and <a href="Chrominance" title="Chrominance">color information</a> (chrominance, chroma) separately, a common first step in image compression in codec design is to represent and store the image in a <a href="YCbCr" title="YCbCr">YCbCr</a> color space. The conversion to YCbCr provides two benefits: first, it improves compressibility by providing decorrelation of the color signals; and second, it separates the luma signal, which is perceptually much more important, from the chroma signal, which is less perceptually important and which can be represented at lower resolution using <a href="Chroma_subsampling" title="Chroma subsampling">chroma subsampling</a> to achieve more efficient data compression. It is common to represent the ratios of information stored in these different channels in the following way Y:Cb:Cr. Different codecs use different chroma subsampling ratios as appropriate to their compression needs. Video compression schemes for Web and DVD make use of a 4:2:1 color sampling pattern, and the <a href="DV_(video_format)" title="DV (video format)">DV</a> standard uses 4:1:1 sampling ratios. Professional video codecs designed to function at much higher bitrates and to record a greater amount of color information for post-production manipulation sample in 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 ratios. Examples of these codecs include Panasonic's DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD codecs (4:2:2), Sony's HDCAM-SR (4:4:4), Panasonic's HDD5 (4:2:2), <a href="Apple_Inc." title="Apple Inc.">Apple</a>'s Prores HQ 422 (4:2:2).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>It is also worth noting that video codecs can operate in RGB space as well. These codecs tend not to sample the red, green, and blue channels in different ratios, since there is less perceptual motivation for doing so—just the blue channel could be undersampled.
</p><p>Some amount of spatial and temporal <a href="Downsampling" class="mw-redirect" title="Downsampling">downsampling</a> may also be used to reduce the raw data rate before the basic encoding process. The most popular encoding transform is the 8x8 DCT. Codecs that make use of a <a href="Wavelet" title="Wavelet">wavelet</a> transform are also entering the market, especially in camera workflows that involve dealing with <a href="Raw_image_format" title="Raw image format">RAW</a> image formatting in motion sequences. This process involves representing the video image as a set of <a href="Macroblocks" class="mw-redirect" title="Macroblocks">macroblocks</a>. For more information about this critical facet of video codec design, see <a href="B-frames" class="mw-redirect" title="B-frames">B-frames</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The output of the transform is first <a href="Quantization_(image_processing)" title="Quantization (image processing)">quantized</a>, then <a href="Entropy_encoding" class="mw-redirect" title="Entropy encoding">entropy encoding</a> is applied to the quantized values. When a DCT has been used, the coefficients are typically scanned using a zig-zag scan order, and the entropy coding typically combines a number of consecutive zero-valued quantized coefficients with the value of the next non-zero quantized coefficient into a single symbol and also has special ways of indicating when all of the remaining quantized coefficient values are equal to zero. The entropy coding method typically uses <a href="Variable-length_code" title="Variable-length code">variable-length coding tables</a>. Some encoders compress the video in a multiple-step process called <i>n-pass</i> encoding (e.g. 2-pass), which performs a slower but potentially higher quality compression.
</p><p>The decoding process consists of performing, to the extent possible, an inversion of each stage of the encoding process.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The one stage that cannot be exactly inverted is the quantization stage. There, a best-effort approximation of inversion is performed. This part of the process is often called <i>inverse quantization</i> or <i>dequantization</i>, although quantization is an inherently non-invertible process.
</p><p>Video codec designs are usually standardized or eventually become standardized—i.e., specified precisely in a published document. However, only the decoding process need be standardized to enable interoperability. The encoding process is typically not specified at all in a standard, and implementers are free to design their encoder however they want, as long as the video can be decoded in the specified manner. For this reason, the quality of the video produced by decoding the results of different encoders that use the same video codec standard can vary dramatically from one encoder implementation to another.
