About video editing
- Anamorphic widescreen is a process by which a comparatively wide widescreen image is horizontally compressed to fit into a storage medium (photographic film, for example) with a narrower aspect ratio.
- A deblocking filter is a video filter applied to decoded compressed video to improve visual quality and prediction performance by smoothing the sharp edges which can form between macroblocks when block coding techniques are used. The filter aims to improve the appearance of decoded pictures. It is a part of the specification for both SMPTE VC-1 codec and ITU H.264 (ISO MPEG-4 AVC) codec.
