Compression Algorithms for Audio-Video Streaming

Abstract

Live audio-video streaming has become popular over the years especially when it comes to communication between people living huge geographical areas apart and at a very cheap rate or even free. However, when it comes to places where bandwidth is low or limited, smooth streaming has become a serious challenge because after all bandwidth is a natural resource and is limited. Therefore, in this paper we present two algorithms or ‘network streaming codecs’ that are designed for compressing live multimedia streams to considerable levels of 25% and 50%.
