Codecs are often designed to emphasize certain aspects of the media, or their use, to be encoded.

Codecs which make use of a wavelet transform are also entering the market, especially in camera workflows which involve dealing with RAW image formatting in motion sequences.

Codecs are used in videoconferencing, streaming media and video editing applications.

Codecs for digital media on computers will often convert NICAM to another digital audio format to compress drive space.

In April 2005, On2 Technologies licensed On2 Video Codecs ( including VP6 and VP7 ) for Macromedia Flash.

Codecs which can be used with such controllers are available from many companies, including Realtek, Conexant, Analog Devices ( SoundMAX ), Integrated Device Technology ( IDT ) ( acquired from SigmaTel ), VIA, Wolfson Microelectronics, and formerly C-Media.

It also has the option of using the Windows Audio Compression Manager ( ACM Codecs ) for direct compression.

Christopher “ Monty ” Montgomery is the creator of the Ogg Free Software container format and Vorbis audio codec and others, and the founder of The Xiph Foundation which promotes public domain multimedia Codecs.

Unlike formats like FLAC, WAV files don't usually have information fields, for instance,

Though FLAC cannot store floating-point data, and playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited compared to lossy formats like MP3 or uncompressed PCM, FLAC is supported by more hardware devices than competing lossless compressed formats like WavPack.

Though FLAC playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited compared to formats like MP3 or uncompressed PCM, FLAC is supported by more hardware devices than competing lossless compressed formats like WavPack.

Also, if one has a codec pack such as the K-Lite Codec Pack installed, then the user can play a wider variety of formats like FLAC and M4A, though not much, converting audio to M4A not only has the added benefit of better quality, it also takes up less space and thus, loads faster.

Some players are compatible with open-source formats like Ogg Vorbis and the Free Lossless Audio Codec ( FLAC ).

`` You might as well wait here while I'm gone, so you can use my shower if you'd like ''.

The South's antipathy to Northern civilization includes such charges as poor manners, harsh accents, lack of appreciation of the arts of living like gastronomy and the use of leisure.

But if you don't know the place like the palm of your hand, you'd better use a compass and the speedometer.

And by a skillful and unobtrusive use of imagery ( the enclosure is called a `` Roman-camp stockade '', the hastily erected lean-to is a `` Babylonian hovel '', the men begin to look like `` Peruvian mummies '' and to acquire `` Gothic faces '' ), Malraux projects a fresco of human endurance -- which is also the endurance of the human -- stretching backward into the dark abyss of time.

The Government of India agrees that it will take all possible measures to prevent the resale or transshipment to other countries or the use for other than domestic purposes ( except where such resale, transshipment or use is specifically approved by the Government of the United States of America ), of the surplus agricultural commodities purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and to assure that the purchase of such commodities does not result in increased availability of these or like commodities for export from India.

What had been an unmanageably powerful introject was now, despite its continuing charge of energy disconcerting to me, sufficiently within control of her ego that she could use it to show me what this introjected mother was like.

It seemed like a good time for officials to use a recently-passed law empowering the post office department to contract for the transport of first class mail by air.

After a few minutes he said, `` I can't use you if you dance like that.

Doubts thus inculcated left me floundering for a while and, like some higher critical friends, trying to continue to use the Bible as the Word of God while at the same time holding it to have been subjected to a vast number of redactions and interpolations: attempting to bridge the chasm between an older, reverent, Bible-loving generation and a critical, doubting, Bible-emancipated race.

It comes to you that probably he did feel that way to let you use him like you did when you couldn't have Gratt Shafer ; ;

My love for Johnnie was young and clean -- how could I possibly compete with a woman like that, who didn't hesitate to use her sex.

Logic seems to have emerged from dialectics ; the earlier philosophers made frequent use of concepts like reductio ad absurdum in their discussions, but never truly understood the logical implications.

Where the Roman model ( like most modern Japanese ) has 4 plus 1 bead per decimal place, the standard suanpan has 5 plus 2, allowing use with a hexadecimal numeral system.

Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however, like the decorative arts, it creates objects where the practical considerations of use are essential — in a way that they are usually not for a painting, for example.

They therefore reject the state, seeing it as an aggressive entity which steals property ( through taxation and expropriation ), initiate aggression, are a compulsory monopoly on the use of force, use their coercive powers to benefit some businesses and individuals at the expense of others, create monopolies, restrict trade, and restrict personal freedoms via drug laws, compulsory education, conscription, laws on food and morality, and the like.

The U. S. media tend to use periods in two-word abbreviations like United States ( U. S .), but not personal computer ( PC ) or television ( TV ).

This is especially evident in the younger Black deaf community, with use of signs for AAE words like my bad and whassup.

Cryptic crossword puzzles frequently use anagrammatic clues, usually indicating that they are anagrams by the inclusion of a descriptive term like " confused " or " in disarray ".

They live in burrows, and, like squirrels, will bury some of their food for later use.

Native Chinese cuisine makes frequent use of Asian leaf vegetables like bok choy and kai-lan and puts a greater emphasis on fresh meat and seafood.

Ambergris has been mostly known for its use in creating perfume and fragrance much like musk.

The latter is more cumbersome to use, so it's only employed when necessary, for example in the analysis of arbitrary-precision arithmetic algorithms, like those used in cryptography.

Scarlatti's style, however, is more than a transitional element in Western music ; like most of his Naples colleagues he shows an almost modern understanding of the psychology of modulation and also frequently makes use of the ever-changing phrase lengths so typical of the Napoli school.

Since in oral languages the elements of sound are for the most part produced linearly in time ( that is, in a word like cat the a sound comes after the c sound, and the t sound comes after that ), they can generally be easily written in a linear ( one-dimensional ) writing system such as an alphabet.

Binary relations are used in many branches of mathematics to model concepts like " is greater than ", " is equal to ", and " divides " in arithmetic, " is congruent to " in geometry, " is adjacent to " in graph theory, " is orthogonal to " in linear algebra and many more.

A bilinear transformation, like any binary function, can be interpreted as a function from X × Y to Z, but this function in general won't be linear.

Some properties of this notation are convenient since we are dealing with linear operators and composition acts like a ring multiplication.

These forms of linear combination satisfy numerous simple-looking properties, like asymptotic formulae or integral representations.

In this mode the FET operates like a variable resistor and the FET is said to be operating in a linear mode or ohmic mode.

In this case, the group is also called a permutation group ( especially if the set is finite or not a vector space ) or transformation group ( especially if the set is a vector space and the group acts like linear transformations of the set ).

Just like the 80386, the 32-bit address bus of the 80486 enabled up to 4 gigabytes of memory to be directly addressed using a flat memory model with 32-bit linear addresses in protected mode.

In the absence of rounding errors, direct methods would deliver an exact solution ( like solving a linear system of equations Ax = b by Gaussian elimination ).

There are named methods for solving simultaneous linear equations like Gauss-Jordan which can be expressed as matrix elementary row operations.

Neptunium, like protactinium, uranium, plutonium, and americium readily forms a linear dioxo neptunyl core ( NpO < sub > 2 </ sub >< sup > n +</ sup >), in its 5 + and 6 + oxidation states, which readily complexes with hard O-donor ligands such as OH < sup >–</ sup >, NO < sub > 2 </ sub >< sup >–</ sup >, NO < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >–</ sup >, and SO < sub > 4 </ sub >< sup > 2 –</ sup > to form soluble anionic complexes which tend to be readily mobile with low affinities to soil.

Note that using a hierarchical system like this ( assuming it is done carefully ) changes the intersection computational time from a linear dependence on the number of objects to something between linear and a logarithmic dependence.

Much like comic books — another popular form of linear storytelling pioneered in the US during the 20th Century — a character's death is not guaranteed to be permanent.

A common simplification assumed for such functions is linear, thus we expect to see a relationship like

There are also search methods designed for quantum computers, like Grover's algorithm, that are theoretically faster than linear or brute-force search even without the help of data structures or heuristics.

However, modern tape drives that used advanced techniques like multilevel forward error correction, shingling, and linear serpentine layout for writing data to tape, along with lower disk drive prices, have made such alternatives obsolete.

This was not an unsound proposal considering that macroscopic oscillators operate similarly: when studying five simple harmonic oscillators of equal amplitude but different frequency, the oscillator with the highest frequency possesses the highest energy ( though this relationship is not linear like Planck's ).

While the compression used in audio recording and the like depends on a variable-gain amplifier, and so is a locally linear process ( linear for short regions, but not globally ), companding is non-linear and takes place in the same way at all points in time.

The term Set-Back Box is used in the digital TV industry to describe a piece of consumer hardware that enables them to access both linear broadcast and internet-based video content, plus a range of interactive services like Electronic Programme Guides ( EPG ), Pay Per View ( PPV ) and Video on Demand ( VOD ) as well as internet browsing, and view them on a large screen television set.

At higher frequencies, the diode looks like an almost perfect ( very linear, even for large signals ) resistor.

This filter reduces the harmonic current, which means that the non-linear device now looks like a linear load.

At first sight this looks like an exponential multiplied by a factor that is linear in temperature.
