Audio & video engineering Videos Recommended on Hacker News (76)
Audio & video engineering is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 76 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 155 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Audio and video technology: analog and digital audio, speakers, amplifiers, microphones, television standards, frame rates, codecs, streaming formats, display technology.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on D/A and A/D | Digital Show and Tell (Monty Montgomery @ xiph.org): “might be the best explanatory video I have ever witnessed” — an HN commenter, 2018.
