All video can be compressed by treating it as a verbatim, monosyllable sentence, or essay. It is about why a frame is a single-unit and not combined with other frames, though syllabic sounds between words can be shortened—I’d advise against it.

Sound is a “channel-pitch” stream, which relates a single-, or more different streams through connected pitches. You don’t need any programming to practice! Use a pen and ecofriendly paper: “record” your voice by “strict, composition sheet-music”: A C A Aflat etc. Recompose, rehash, and other operations can turn the sound into all known formats and related sounds!

For video, try to manipulate a single distilled image, use a point-by-point display for convenience—again, on paper. Try to split the image in 2, find which way is about equal, and develop a step-by-step algorithm: this is the most advanced ratio-encoding method. Try to convect an image with another image, which is to blend them into a single square of space, without interfering the images: one is a “C”, and the other an “o”, for example. This is the most useful single-display format, which is how avimpeg-2, hma, ncoa—which is an old vhs format— all were combining different frames. Good luck!
