Videos are very popular today. You can film your own life or download a clip or a movie. The main problem of video files is their size. Unprocessed raw video in AVI takes gigabytes of space. It's too much even for the newest computers. Besides, you may want to upload your video to the web or to iPod or to cell phone. So the question is: how to compress video still keeping good quality?
