Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Quite general descriptions.
It is not bad for and introduction book, quite general descriptions about the topics, if you do not have some background about video, this book will not help you at all. Mainly use like a quick reference book.
Rating: - A bit disappointing
This is a fairly complete handbook about video signals: here you will find quite everything about analog and digital video, cables and connection standards.
From the first chapter, however, the written text disappoints the reader: it is a list of technical data, without any further explanation or with a poor one. This book is a sort of "data sheet compilation", and it is a very good one. But it is not a book about digital and analog video.
From this book you will not learn ... Read More
Rating:  - 4th edition better
I quickly scanned the text. The difference between the fifth edition and the fourth edition is that the 5th is missing the CD with the electronic version of the book.
Rating:  - My Video Bible
As a EE specializing in hardware development often related to video processing, I consider this my "Video Bible".
Rating: - A good reference
This book serves as a very good reference for video engineers. However, for a person new to the field of video encoding/decoding, I would not recommend this book.
