Encoding is the process of transforming information from one format into another. The opposite operation is called decoding.

i don't think that's true


is it

Encoding:

Encoding is the process of putting a sequence of characters into a special format for transmission or storage.

Decoding:

To convert from a coded form into the original form.

Transcoding:

The process of converting a media file or object from one format to another. Transcoding is often used to convert video formats (i.e., Beta to VHS, VHS to QuickTime, QuickTime to MPEG). But it is also used to fit HTML files and graphics files to the unique constraints of mobile devices and other Web-enabled products. These devices usually have smaller screen sizes, lower memory, and slower bandwidth rates. In this scenario, transcoding is performed by a transcoding proxy server or device, which receives the requested document or file and uses a specified annotation to adapt it to the client.

I honestly don't find that funny. Some people just don't understand what "encode" means in the Video world.  That's when you people should help others, not make fun of them and also open a thread for the sake of it.

A bit "donkey like" ?

Thank you, I thought this site had rules about making fun of people. (Or guidelines)

I was being nice about it, but my post was about how they both 'fail' and giving the correct information.

encode:

tihs si enocedd.

Decode:

This is decoded.

transcode: (this is transcoded)

Encode is not a term I would expect the average Joe on the street to understand.

Stuff like Google, yes, but stuff like "XviD", "MPEG", "transcode" - I wouldn't just say to anyone.
