What is "encoding"?

MPuls3 / FAQ
Encoding refers to the process of compressing .WAV files into a much smaller MP3 (or other compressed audio) format. Once you have ripped a song from your CD, you must then encode the .WAV file to an MP3 file. The file will be reduced to approximately one twelfth of its original size while maintaining it's original perceived audio quality.

Frequently Asked Questions: MP3 Audio
The process of converting from WAV or a higher quality audio file format to an MP3 or lower quality audio format. A series of compressions allow for the larger file to be "squashed" to a smaller sized file without losing very much sound quality. Check out our list of Encoders.

What is audio encoding?

Cinram - DVD Frequently Asked Questions
Like video encoding, audio signals can also be compressed so that they take up much less space than they would normally. However, while the philosophy is the same as video encoding, much of the process is specific to audio and requires specialized hardware and software and is often done in a completely separate environment from the video encoding.

What is the filename encoding?

gtk-gnutella - The Graphical Unix Gnutella Client
gtk-gnutella use UTF-8 as default encoding for filenames. If your locale setting does not use UTF-8, other applications may not display these filenames correctly or may have problems accessing them in the worst case. You can change the encoding using the environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING. This affects most applications that use Gtk+ or GLib.

What is RACE Encoding?

OnlineNIC: Frequently Asked Questions
RACE Encoding is the system used to translate languages into a common format that is easier for computers to store. It is represented as a string of numbers, letters, and dashes. All multilingual domains will be stored in this format for use in Internet computers and systems. There are no restrictions on registering a domain name in another character set. As long as the name is determined to be available,it is eligible to be registered.

What is this encoding process all about?

InnerTalk - Frequently Ask Questions
On one channel, accessing the left brain, meaningfully spoken, permissive affirmations (such as, "It's OK to succeed. It's OK to do well.") are delivered. On a second channel, accessing the right brain, directive messages (such as, "I am good. I succeed. I do well.") are delivered in reverse, to be recognized by the right brain's unique spatial understanding. The channel-differentiated messages shadow each other from conscious recognition.

What is RCE encoding?

DVDWorldUSA.com
Some region 1 titles from Columbia Tristar have an encoding called 'Regional Coding Enhancement' (RCE). This will prevent the DVD from playing on some multi-region or region-free DVD players. In general, any multi-region player that has the option for you to manually choose the regional setting will not be affected by RCE. Please make sure that your player can handle this encoding before ordering, as we are unable to accept any returns due to RCE.

What is document encoding?

Introduction to Automated Document Processing - Valora Techn...
Document encoding, also called indexing, is the process of creating a database of bibliographic information about a set of documents. Bibliographic information covers information about the document, such as its title, its creation date and its author. Historically, trained paralegals and legal temp workers performed this task by hand. Automated encoding uses sophisticated computer software to accomplish the same process, but much more quickly and at a lower cost.

What is file encoding?

Welcome to 1UglyFTP
Different types of computer and operating system have different file structures. File encoding allows a file created on one type of computer to be converted into a convenient file format, so that it can safely be stored on another type of computer. Storing does not mean that the file can be executed or even opened successfully on a machine that can store it.

What is the difference between URL encoding, URL rewriting, HTML escaping, and entity encoding?

www.adobians.com
URL Encoding is a process of transforming user input to a CGI form so it is fit for travel across the network -- basically, stripping spaces and punctuation and replacing with escape characters. URL Decoding is the reverse process. To perform these operations, call java.net.URLEncoder.encode() and java.net.URLDecoder.decode() (the latter was (finally!) added to JDK 1.2, aka Java 2). URL Rewriting is a technique for saving state information on the user's browser between page hits.

What is the default encoding?

Java Internationalization FAQ
The default encoding is selected by the JRE based on the host operating system and its locale. For example, in the US locale on Windows, windows-1252 is used. In the Simplified Chinese locale on Solaris, GB2312, GBK, GB18030, or UTF-8 can be the default encoding, depending on the selection made when logging into Solaris. The default encoding is significant because the JRE commonly exchanges text with the host operating system in the default encoding.

What encoding should I declare?

Bulletproof HTML: 37 Steps to Perfect Markup [HTML & XHT...
It's very, very simple: we must specify the encoding that we used when saving our source file! If we save the file as ISO 8859-1, we must specify the encoding as iso-8859-1; if we save as UTF-8, we specify it as utf-8. The only problem here is that we may not always know what encoding our editor uses to save the file. Any editor worth its salt should give us the option to specify the encoding, though.

What is Segment Re-Encoding?

Introductory DVD Authoring FAQ
Suppose you have a VBR encode and you find a glitch on a few frames ? what are you to do? Go back and re-encode the whole video and hope for the best? If your encoder features segment re-encoding, you can tell it to grab just the frames (or GOPs, to be completely accurate) that have problems, and re-encode them at a new bit rate.

Does MT-NewsWatcher support the yEnc encoding that is showing up on binary groups a lot now?

MT-NW Manual: Frequently Asked Questions
MT-NW 3.1 does not support yEnc, even via external decoders. The main issue here is that yEnc-encoded messages contain non-ASCII characters that MT-NW 3.1 strips out when saving the messages to disk. An ugly workaround is to use the 'Export' command, but then you have to drag the saved file onto a helper app manually. MT-NW 3.2 (on OS X) does support decoding of yEnc posts (but not posting of yEnc).
