video compression {Compression} of sequences of images. Video compression {algorithm}s use the fact that there are usually only small changes from one "frame" to the next so they only need to encode the starting frame and a sequence of differences between frames. This is known as "inter-frame coding" or "3D coding". {MPEG} is a committee producing {standard}s in this area and also the name of their standard {algorithm}. {H.261} is another standard. See also {Integrated Information Technology}, {3DO}, {full-motion video}, {Online Media}. | |

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
Vaticanus, Codex is said to be the oldest extant vellum manuscript. It and the Codex Sinaiticus are the two oldest uncial manuscripts. They were probably written in the fourth century. The Vaticanus was placed in the Vatican Library at Rome by Pope Nicolas V. in 1448, its previous history being unknown. It originally consisted in all probability of a complete copy of the Septuagint and of the New Testament. It is now imperfect, and consists of 759 thin, delicate leaves, of which the New Testament fills 142. Like the Sinaiticus, it is of the greatest value to Biblical scholars in aiding in the formation of a correct text of the New Testament. It is referred to by critics as Codex B. |
