Letters From the Ice Floe:

Much of it is (obviously) QuickTime-related, but there's a lot of other useful information in there, such as the theory behind Y'CbCr color representation.

Poynton's Color FAQ:
http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/~buc/brech ... orFAQ.html (mirrored; original site seems to be down)

An excellent resource dealing with frequently asked questions (well, duh) about the theory of color representation, as well as the implementation of color representation systems. Pretty neat, if quite technical.

Luke's Video Guide:

Rather platform-centric, but it still has some pretty good information regarding video capture, processing, and encoding.
