This package contains the source code for the book "An Introduction to Digital
Video Data Compression in Java" by Fore June.  A directory number here corresponds
to a chapter number of the book.  For example, the programs in the directory "11/"
are the programs discussed and developed in Chapter 11.  Programs in later chapters
usually use classes developed in earlier chapters.  The file "set_classpath" in some
of the directories helps you to set the classpath properly. The best way to experiment
with the programs is to start with lower directories and use the command "javac *.java"
to compile the programs.  

You should also get some small sample data and put in the directory "data/" for testing. 
The programs are mainly for  illustrating the principles of digital video data compression.  
They only work for videos with both frame width and frame height divisible by 16. Also, 
error-checkings  are omitted in many places.  Therefore, users have to modify the programs 
if they want to use them for their only applications.
