And then you're tracking, trying to infer, like, what is this codec doing by observing the sample and then looking at the machine.

It's incredible.

It's mind-blowing and inspiring.

Does it get, like, from your experience and from what you've seen in the community, does it get discouraging?

Can you explain bit exactness?

For like a large number of samples?

And you're saying the encoder is needed to be able to run tests and then the bit exactness.

I mean, that's a nice thing to guarantee.

There's a parallel sort of development here on the way the web browser works, which takes HTML and displays it, and there's no bit exactness there across the different engines.

Man, this is really cool.

Going to perplexity, Yuri Reznik is a multimedia and signal processing researcher.

Got his PhD in computer science from Kiev University with over 150 papers and more than 80 granted US patents.

Contributor to major multimedia standards, including H.264, MPEG-4, AVC, H.265, MPEG-4 ALS, G718.

G718 is telco stuff.

Telco.

And so he was more connected to company.

Real audio, real video, right?

That was very important at that time.

Zen Coder, Bright Cove, Context.

Man, I need to hang out with Yuri.
