Default New Book Idea: Media Formats

Thank you for publishing 'Assembly Language Professional by Richard Blum'.

I am reading the book with much enthusiasm.

How ever, in the book it speaks of using Assembly Language to reap the benefits of MMX, SSE, and SIMD processor registers and instructions under Linux for and I quote 'digital signal processing'.

How ever, I do not know of any media formats - such as .AVI for film / video - or .ogv (Linux Video Format) to exploit these processor technologies!

What I would LOVE to read about are the file formats such as .BMP .JPG .GIF for images and .AVI or .OGV for video. Also, how about the file formats for AUDIO!?

There are a whole book here for sure! Can you also make the source code a mixture of Assembly Language and C / C++? I ask this because it will compliment the Assembly Language book (By Wrox Press).

This is really something I think would enable LOTS of people to get into the media industry and start programming media applications with the SSE, SIMD, and MMX technologies.
