Digital transmission of television signals via satellites is commonplace, and widespread HDTV terrestrial transmission began in 2000 and is targeted to become the default transmission standard in the United States by 2006. Video compression is an absolute requirement for the growth and success for the low bandwidth transmission and storage of digital video signals. Video encoding is used wherever digital video communications, ...
