A software developer proposes using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to compress a raw, uncompressed 16-bit PCM digital audio recording of a live acoustic violin performance.
Explain why applying RLE to this audio recording is highly ineffective and would likely result in an increased overall file size.
Practise Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Data storage and compression with exam-style questions for GCSE Computer Science. 50 questions covering Binary multiples and file size calculations and Need for and methods of compression, matched to the Edexcel GCSE Computer Science (1CP2) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
