MPEG-2 White Paper

The Moving Pictures Experts Group abbreviated MPEG is part of the International Standards Organisation (ISO), and defines standards for digital video and digital audio. The primal task of this group was to develop a format to play back video and audio in real time from a CD1. Meanwhile the demands have raised and beside the CD the D VD2 needs to be supported as well as transmission equipment like satellites and networks. All this operational uses are covered by a broad selection of standards. Well known are the standards MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and MPEG-7. Each standard provides levels and profiles to support special applications in an optimised way. VD2 needs to be supported as well as transmission equipment like satellites and networks.
