The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) was formed by the ISO to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission.[1] Its first meeting was in May 1988 in Ottawa, Canada. As of late 2005, MPEG has grown to include approximately 350 members per meeting from various industries, universities, and research institutions. MPEG's official designation is ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 WG11 - Coding of moving pictures and audio.[2][3][4][5]

[edit] Standards

The MPEG standards consist of different Parts. Each part covers a certain aspect of the whole specification.[6] The standards also specify Profiles and Levels. Profiles are intended to define a set of tools that are available, and Levels define the range of appropriate values for the properties associated with them.[7] Some of the approved MPEG standards were revised by later amendments and/or new editions. MPEG has standardized the following compression formats and ancillary standards:

  • MPEG-1 (1993): Coding of moving pictures and associated audio for digital storage media at up to about 1,5 Mbit/s (ISO/IEC 11172). The first MPEG compression standard for audio and video. It was basically designed to allow moving pictures and sound to be encoded into the bitrate of a Compact Disc. It is used on Video CD, SVCD and can be used for low-quality video on DVD Video. It was used in digital satellite/cable TV services before MPEG-2 became widespread. To meet the low bit requirement, MPEG-1 downsamples the images, as well as uses picture rates of only 24-30 Hz, resulting in a moderate quality.[8] It includes the popular Layer 3 (MP3) audio compression format.
  • MPEG-3: MPEG-3 dealt with standardizing scalable and multi-resolution compression[8] and was intended for HDTV compression but was found to be redundant and was merged with MPEG-2, as a result there is no MPEG-3 standard.[9][8] MPEG-3 is not to be confused with MP3, which is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3.
  • MPEG-4 (1998): Coding of audio-visual objects. (ISO/IEC 14496) MPEG-4 uses further coding tools with additional complexity to achieve higher compression factors than MPEG-2.[10] In addition to more efficient coding of video, MPEG-4 moves closer to computer graphics applications. In more complex profiles, the MPEG-4 decoder effectively becomes a rendering processor and the compressed bitstream describes three-dimensional shapes and surface texture.[10] MPEG-4 also provides Intellectual Property Management and Protection (IPMP) which provides the facility to use proprietary technologies to manage and protect content like digital rights management.[11] Several new higher-efficiency video standards (newer than MPEG-2 Video) are included, notably:

In addition, the following standards, while not sequential advances to the video encoding standard as with MPEG-1 through MPEG-4, are referred to by similar notation:

  • MPEG-7 (2002): Multimedia content description interface. (ISO/IEC 15938)
  • MPEG-21 (2001): Multimedia framework (MPEG-21). (ISO/IEC 21000) MPEG describes this standard as a multimedia framework and provides for intellectual property management and protection.

Moreover, relatively more recently than other standards above, MPEG has started following international standards; each of the standards holds multiple MPEG technologies for a way of application.[12][13][14][15][16] (For example, MPEG-A includes a number of technologies on multimedia application format.)

  • MPEG-A (2007): Multimedia application format (MPEG-A). (ISO/IEC 23000) (e.g. Purpose for multimedia application formats[17], MPEG music player application format, MPEG photo player application format and others)
  • MPEG-C (2006): MPEG video technologies. (ISO/IEC 23002) (e.g. Accuracy requirements for implementation of integer-output 8x8 inverse discrete cosine transform[19] and others)
  • MPEG-D (2007): MPEG audio technologies. (ISO/IEC 23003) (e.g. MPEG Surround[20] and two parts under development: SAOC-Spatial Audio Object Coding and USAC-Unified Speech and Audio Coding)
  • MPEG-E (2007): Multimedia Middleware. (ISO/IEC 23004) (a.k.a. M3W) (e.g. Architecture[21], Multimedia application programming interface (API), Component model and others)
  • Supplemental media technologies (2008). (ISO/IEC 29116) Part 1: Media streaming application format protocols will be revised in MPEG-M Part 4 - MPEG extensible middleware (MXM) protocols.[22]
  • MPEG-V (under development): Media context and control. (ISO/IEC CD 23005) (a.k.a. Information exchange with Virtual Worlds) [23][24] (e.g. Avatar characteristics, Sensor information, Architecture[25][26] and others)
  • MPEG-M (under development): MPEG eXtensible Middleware (MXM). (ISO/IEC FCD 23006) [27][28][29] (e.g. MXM architecture and technologies[30], API, MPEG extensible middleware (MXM) protocols[31])
  • MPEG-U (under development): Rich media user interfaces. (ISO/IEC CD 23007)[32][33] (e.g. Widgets)
