Video Preparation Overview
This chapter provides an an overview of video preparation for a 3DO title. Keep in mind that the source data in video processing is raw, uncompressed video, film, or film converted to video, probably at 640 x 480 pixel resolution. The goal of video processing is to produce a cropped, resized, compressed movie that is ready for data streaming.
Below is a list of the major steps in the process, and the corresponding chapter in this document. Figure 1 shows a flow chart of the process.
