2 Online Interactive Multi-Player Games Multi-player online gaming systems have become very popular in recent years. The realism of the visuals increases all the time. So, too, does the requirement to hurl an evergrowing quantity of bits down a very narrow pipe. The difficulty increases as the games become more popular, with more streams having to be delivered simultaneously. Online games differ significantly from normal video, because for a game to be compelling, some aspects of what you see must be computed as a consequence of your actions.
The next level of spatial compression in terms of complexity is the JPEG technique, which breaks the image into macroblocks and applies the discrete cosine transform (DCT ). This kind of compression starts to become lossy. Minimal losses are undetectable by the human eye, but as the compression ratio increases, the image visibly degrades. Compression using the JPEG technique reduces the data to about 10% of the original size.

Broadcast news coverage is being originated on videophones, mini-cams, and videoenabled mobile-phone devices. The quality of these cameras is rapidly improving. To maintain a comfortable size and weight for portable use, the storage capacity in terms of hardware has very strict limits. Video compression increases the capacity and thus the recording time available by condensing the data before recording takes place. Current practice is to shoot on a small DV camera, edit the footage on a laptop, and then send it back to base via a videophone or satellite transceiver.
