morning happy people, i need thorough assistance on the above subject. am currently working on my project - I*PTV Service optimization on an IMS network*. The main objective is to reduce bandwidth consumption(typical for the kenyan market!) and improve scalability. one way to achieve this is by choosing a suitable video codec for transmission. But as is with academia i need to analyse different video signals (compressed differently) and justify my choice. that is why i need compression software and probably software for VIDEO signal analysis. Please try and keep it FOSS :). all help appreciated. God bless y'all! NB: Any Zuku guyz can let me in on the codecs they use for their service. and it doesnt have to be h.264!
