Both professionals and students will benefit from the information in this self-contained work on video transport systems engineering.



Summary: Yahoo! Got a good one here
Rating: 5
My team is working on H.264 video over a MPEG-2 transport stream packet. This book helps a lot on learning systems timing, which is hard to find from any books. I don't understand why so many books discuss about MPEG video, but very few tells about systems timing. Where are those "Professors" ?


Summary: Nice book
Rating: 5
The content is original, which cannot be found in other books with the same topic. However, I think the book is overpriced.


Summary: I think it is a good book
Rating: 5
A good book ... many sections are new to me ( I didn't find them in other books )... interesting topics ...


Summary: Good book, but over priced
Rating: 5
The book is good because no one provided many details as given in this book. But just as other Kluwer books, it is over-priced.


Summary: Average and overpriced
Rating: 3
This book offers a good intro for someone just entering the field of digital video transport; however, for a well exposed individual operating in this space, it is weak. As my background is in digital signal processing and comm systems, I have read and seen better materials, because of this I have to consider it as extremely overpriced. Its worth in my opinion is at most $80.00.
