Top Comments of this video!! :3
The reason why this video is SO GOOD is because it starts out at a level that just about anyone can understand, and quickly builds on top of it with logical steps, each of which anyone can understand, and suddenly you understand video encoding 101.
If you understand the logic of something, "getting" the practicality of it is a non-issue because it only requires memorizing things. Which itself is easier because you get WHY you're memorizing each thing.

I have a decade of experience as a software engineer. I have to say this is an exceptional explanation! So many videos about this topic assume the viewer knows more than they do. You could show this to a total novice and they would come out with a very strong beginners understanding of how computers work at a pretty deep level. Excellent, excellent work! Please keep making more āexplainersā like this! You have a gift!

I can definitely see this video being used for high school CS classes. You have the great ability to break down a complex topic for non-CS people into very understandable chunks plus the video itself is pleasing to look at/listen to. Your quantum computing and raytracing videos are still my favorite though! Seriously, keep up the great work! Its rare to find someone who puts as much effort in the visuals and the explanations as you do. I strive to be as knowledgeable as you are in computer science.

Iām a software engineer. About mid level. I rarely have to deal with this type of stuff cuz of course itās all abstracted away by the time it gets to the high level programming languagesā¦but man I love watching your videos. It brings me back to my college days when we briefly had to learn about this stuff. Thereās something truly magical about binary and hexadecimal representation of data. Thanks for all your hard work. Your videos always have great explanations as well as great animations to back them up. I hope you keep at this and keep enjoying the process of making these videos.

What a coincidence. Throwing files in a Hex Editor and finding out about how files are structured. Even creating my own bitmap by writing bytes in a file is what I did the last weeks. And now here is an amazing video that just summarizes all of my findings and more. What a brilliant video and charming visualization. I wonder which combination of 1's and 0's told Youtube that I was interested in that topic but knowing that Google and Youtube are part of the same company oh well... . Thank you for this masterpiece.

When you understand this, you start to understand why computers can be made out of hydraulic pipes, domino chains, interconected brain cells, marbles rolling on slides or wooden gears. The idea of the bit is independent of the physical substrate which encodes it. You don't need to have electric circuits to build a computer (but electrcity is fast, reliable and highly controlable).
