I'll buy it today! None of the books I've seen are a "here's how to build an encocder" type. They're definitely about the theory of video and compression. The bible is anything you can find by Charles Poynton. The one example I have used as a reference is: Title: Digital Video and HDTV - Algorithms and Interfaces Author: Charles Poynton ISBN: 1-55860-72-7 available from: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Interfaces-Kaufmann-Computer-Graphics/dp/1558607927/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240594559&sr=1-1 Another good book, someone less heavy on the math ;) is Title: Digital Video Compression Author: Peter Symes ISBN: 0-07-142487-3 available from: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Video-Compression-CD-ROM-Peter/dp/0071424873/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240594660&sr=1-1 and lastly if you ever wondered exactly what the difference was between PAL in the UK and PAL in Germany was OR what the bit by bit definition of an MPEG-2 Caption Service Descriptor or Program Stream Map is then you want: Video Demystified Author: Keith Jack ISBN: 978-0-7506-8395-1 available from: http://www.amazon.com/Video-Demystified-Handbook-Digital-Engineer/dp/0750683953/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240594967&sr=1-1 There are probably others and maybe someone else will submit their favorite reference books.
