Wavelet Technology: Screenplay uses Wavelet compression technology because it offers the best mix of quality and efficiency. While M-JPEG (Motion-JPEG) offers excellent quality, it uses the most hard disk space to maintain its quality, so it is not efficient. MPEG offers the most compression while still maintaining decent quality, so it is the most efficient, but the poorest Compressionof the three in terms of quality. (MPEG has a tough time with horizontal and vertical lines and with lots of motion, such as leaves blowing on a tree.) Wavelet offers the best quality of the three - about a 20% quality improvement over M-JPEG at comparable compression settings - and an efficiency rating that falls between M-JPEG and MPEG.
