Video encoding is the process of converting a video so it can work on any type of platform. Each encoded video contains three parts Formats, Codecs, and Bitrates.
With Sezion’s cloud-based automatic video editing and generation platform (API, SDKs or even our no-coding-required tools) the encoding process is included in our solutions.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Interlacing embrace the
explanation!!
• Interlacing was originally conceived as a way to
achieve good visual quality within a limitations
of a narrow bandwidth.
odd field even field
25. Progressive Scanning
(non-interlaced scanning)
• A method of representing
moving images on a display
screen, in which every pixel is
represented in each frame.
• Computer monitors use a progressive scan.
• The standard refresh rate for a flicker-free
display is a vertical scan rate of 75 Hz or higher.
• It’s used to project movies in theaters.
26. Note
in digital TV terminology:
interlaced scan is denoted
by a lowercase i
progressive scan is
denoted by a lowercase p
frame rate: (60i, 24p)
resolution: (1080i, 720p)
27. Frame Rate
• Frame frequency is a measure of how quickly
an image device can produce unique
consecutive images called frames.
(expressed in frames per second - fps)
• Typically, the human eye can interpret motion at
10 fps, but this rate causes a flicker effect that’s
distract.
• Increasing the frame rate reduces flickering.
28. Frame Rate
• Movies - 14 fps
• Television:
• NTSC - 29.97 fps
• HDTV - 60 fps
• VDO games (frame rate is very important):
• action-oriented games - 20-30 fps
• 3D-heavy games - 90-100 fps
29. Aspect Ratios
• The ratio of the width of the image to its
height (w:h)
• motion-picture - 1.85:1 and 2.35:1
• tv screens - 1.33:1 (aka 4:3)
• HDTV - 1.78:1 (aka 16:9)
16:9 4:3 letterbox
30. Compression
• VDO is huge - one sec of analog VDO stored
in an uncompressed digital format takes up 1
MB of disk space
• thus, 5-min VDO ~ 300 MB
• not practical
• VDO compression is a MUST
• VDO contains many spatial and temporal
redundancies
• Codecs are needed for creating and viewing
33. Temporal Compression
• Make key frames, say every 6 frames and do the
spatial compression on these frames.
• Between key frames, each one of them will be
replaced by a difference frame.
36. AVI
• Most common AV data on Windows
• Can be saved in a variety of compression
schemes - full frames (uncompressed), Radius’s
Cinepak, Intel Video, and Indeo.
37. MOV
• Quicktime Movie was developed by Apple
Computer
• MPEG-4
• Qt 7 (and later) use H.264
38. MPG
• The compressed VDO file format for standard
DVD using the MPEG-2 encoding standard
• A large file can be transferred to MPEG with
little loss of quality while dropping the bit rate
a great deal
39. • The MPEG group develops the standards for
encoding VDO and audio
• MPEG standards:
• MPEG-1: used as VCD standard (MP3 is the
popular compression)
• MPEG-2: use in many things such as DVD,
digital satellite TV and so on
• MPEG-4: support 3D content, low bit-rate
encoding, support for Digital Right
Management
40. Others
• WMV
• a part of Windows Media framework
• used for streaming VDO over the internet
• uses MPEG-4 standard
• RM
• a multimedia container with RealVideo and
RealAudio codecs in a single file
• is used to stream AV over the internet
45. Coaxial
• VDO and audio signals are both carries in one
cable
• Poorest transfer
46. A/V
• Use RCA connectors
• Yellow is (composite) video
• Red is right audio & White is left audio
47. S-Video
• Separate video - transmit VDO
signals over a cable by dividing
the VDO info into 2 separate
signals: color (chrominance)
and brightness (luminance)
• Sharper than composite VDO
• must be used in conjunction
with audio cables
50. FireWire
• Developed by Apple
Computer
• IEEE-1394 standard
• 400 Mbps
• higher transfer rates are
available (800, 1600, and
up to 3100 Mbps)
51. Transferring from
Recorder to Computer
• Calculate disk space (uncompressed):
• (pixel width) x (pixel height) x (color bit
depth) x (fps) x (duration in secs) / 8,000,000
• say, 3-min VDO @ 15 fps, 24-bit depth,
320x240 pixels will take:
• (320) x (240) x (24) x (15) x (180) /
8,000,000 = 622 MB
52. VDO Editing
• Editing:
• cut and paste sections
• add special effects
• add transitions
• add titles
