Sitting on one boring day, I dreamed of a new video format which would really really bring down the size constraints where video is concerned. The new video format that I dream of is very different from what the normal mpg and avi formats... below is a detailed description.
Ok.. lets first go thru what an avi format video file does. Basically, it consists of a set of frames which contains an image. These images are displayed on top of each other at a fast rate producing so called video. the MPG format does the same but instead, it uses better compression for the images and manages them efficiently. Same goes for sound, MPG probably used MP3 type of format for sound.
Now lets go through my dreamed of format. My format consists of a base frame (which the movie starts from). The next frame is not a complete image. It only stores pixel change. What I mean to say is, that whatever pixels had changed from frame 1 to frame 2, will be logged in frame 2. Now, frame 2's pixels overwrite frame 1's pixels, thus creating a full frame 2 image! Like that, frame 2 logs changes between frame 2 and 3... and then recreates frame 3... get the picture? This could really reduce the size especially in videos having a consistent background. Now, just like the MPG format, you need to choose an efficient graphics format for the video (should be highly compressed) and also, a highly efficient sould format. For sound, you could use MP3 or anything more efficient than that. This my general concept of the video format... on to what I expect from a coder
First of, I require this to be coded in VB 100%. The coder I will contract... will be contracted many more times in the future to expand on what I need. Write now, I need 2 standalone software. One would be the video format player and the other would be the Video format converter. The video format converter should have the options of how many frames/sec to be displayed, what would be the quality of the images of the video (like 256 colors, 16 bit.. 32 bit. My conception is that it could reduce the size of the video file). It should be able to convert from both .avi and .mpg files For a bidder to be considered, you would need to have experience in video and video formats including sound manipulation. You will have a very good chance to be selected if you prepare statitics with your bid. Statistics should mention how much you could reduce a mpg file too, etc...
## Deliverables
Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. Complete copyrights to all work purchased. I will actively make sure no copyright infringement takes place

All windows
## Deadline information
Looking foward for a firm price and development time from buyer. I expect it to be coded in no longer than 6 weeks all though I'm not that strict on time
