Question

consider these two files: • a 1 - minute video of a cat pouncing ferociously on a twisty tie. • a download of \the lion king\, a 1.5 - hour animated film is it possible for \the lion king\ to have a smaller file size than the shorter cat video? choose 1 answer: a yes, as long as \the lion king\ video is compressed with an open non - patented standard. b yes, if \the lion king\ video is compressed with a lossy compression algorithm. c yes, but only if \the lion king\ video is produced by a major company like disney. d no, \the lion king\ video will always take up more space than the 1 - minute video.

Explanation:

Lossy compression algorithms can reduce file - size significantly by discarding some data. So, a longer video like "The Lion King" can have a smaller file size than a shorter video if it is compressed with a lossy compression algorithm. The type of compression standard (patented or not) or the producer of the video (major company or not) is not the determining factor for file - size reduction in relation to a shorter video.

Answer:

B. Yes, if "The Lion King" video is compressed with a lossy compression algorithm.
