Title: Don't be fooled by the title of this book.
Review: This book belongs to the kind that gives you highest expectation before strongest disappointment.Implied by its title, I bet most people will presume it focuses on the DESIGN of a video codec, not a REVIEW of various techniques in standards.Unfortunately, only Chap. 13 has sth to do with DESIGN.This book may be useful for people who do not know much about video coding, but it's not for people who looks for information on how to design a video codec.From my experience, open source/free software packages, like MPEG4IP, MPEG2encode/decode, TMN H.263 codec, and standards documentation will offer much much more for a reader interested in DESIGN.Not recommended because the title is too misleading.
