(Bilgisayar) Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC): Açık kaynak kodlu, bedava ve kayıpsız ses sıkıştırma formatıdır. Audio CD'lerin dosyaya çevrilmesinde ve HD ses kalitesini depolamada kullanılan bir formattır. Mp3'e göre çok fazla yer kaplar ve aynı oranda ses kalitesi mp3'ten kat kat yüksektir. Uzantısı "flac"tır. Programda encoder ve decoder'ın yani sıra WinAmp plugin'de mevcuttur
compression - image and data-compression applications and algorithms, such as Huffman Encoding, that reduce the number of bits a picture would normally take up without sacrificaing any fidelity
A method of image compression where there is no loss in quality when the image is uncompressed The uncompressed image is mathematically identical to its original Lossless compression is usually lower in compression ratio than lossy compression
A compression protocol which does not sacrifice ("lose") any detail in compression or decompression "Lossless" compression formats are essential in applications like compressing program files or backing up data from a hard disk In applications which don't require exact reproduction of the file being compressed, a "lossy" protocol may be used The ZIP format developed by PKWare is a "lossless" file compression protocol
Describes an image-compression method that retains all image detail (See LZW compression)
Data compression algorithms that store date in a format that does not cause data loss in the compression process Typically this type of compression has a ration of up to 8: 1
is used in the context of describing audio encoding schemes (e g , PCM, MLP) where no detail or nuance of the original analog master or source material/signal are lost during the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion process See Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP)
The maintenance of image quality of an image that has been compressed and decompressed The process of compressing and decompressing often degrades image quality A lossless image is one in which the image quality of a decompressed file appears nearly identical to the original
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for audio data compression. Being a lossless compression format, FLAC does not remove information from the audio stream, as lossy compression formats such as MP3, AAC, and Vorbis do
