Here's the digital media video I briefly mentioned at this mornings
meeting if you're interested.

This first video from Xiph.Org presents the technical foundations of
modern digital media via a half-hour firehose of information. One
community member called it "a Uni lecture I never got but really
wanted."

The program offers a brief history of digital media, a quick summary
of the sampling theorem, and myriad details of low level audio and
video characterization and formatting. It's intended for budding geeks
looking to get into video coding, as well as the technically curious
who want to know more about the media they wrangle for work or play.
