How to become a multimedia programmer?

Question

Recently, I have been interested in multimedia programming, but all I know about multimedia is simple and basic concepts related to codecs and container formats. So you can tell me where to start, and there are some good books that explain multimedia concepts in terms of software. In fact, I am looking for prior knowledge and key concepts of multimedia programming that a software developer must master

If you have a small mathematical background, you should learn something about DSP (Digital Signal Processing), there are many books and websites. For example: http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm

And in this area it is quite popular Matlab (there are free clones, Octave ), its high-level language is well suited for experimenting with DSP and understanding basic concepts.
