TRUE OR FALSE: Streaming video requires fewer "layers" of data to be converted and compressed than audio.

Correct Answer
FALSE

Explanation
Streaming video actually requires more "layers" of data to be converted and compressed than audio. Video data typically includes both visual and audio components, which require separate encoding and compression processes. This involves converting the raw video and audio data into a digital format, compressing it to reduce file size, and then transmitting it over the internet for streaming. In contrast, streaming audio only requires the conversion and compression of the audio data, making it less complex than streaming video. Therefore, the correct answer is FALSE.
