Just a quick note that Video Compression for Flash, Apple Devices and HTML5 has been adapted for Seth Bloombaum’s streaming course at Portland (Oregon) Community College. (MM236 in the Multimedia Program.)

In his note to me letting me know, Seth commented, “I’m really very enthusiastic about the the new book. IMHO it’s been a long time since there was a compression book worth owning, due to how quickly the info gets obselete. Your choice of subjects covered, and references to benchmarking to sort the hype from the facts fits very well with what I’ve been teaching in this course.”
