Audio and Video Data Compression Part 2
In fact, destructive data compression will eventually get to the point where it won’t work. For example, an extreme example: the compression algorithm deletes the last byte of the file every time, and after this algorithm continues to compress until the file is empty, the compression algorithm will not continue to work.
Compression is important because it helps reduce the consumption of expensive resources such as hard drive space and connection bandwidth, however, compression requires information processing resources, which can also be expensive. Therefore, the design of the data compression mechanism must compromise on compression capability, degree of distortion, required computing resources, and various other factors that must be taken into account.
As with any form of communication, compressed data communication only works if both the sender and receiver of the information understand the encryption mechanism. For example, the article only makes sense if the recipient knows that the article is to be interpreted in Chinese characters. Also, the compressed data can only be understood by the receiver if he knows the encoding method.
