Abstract

The development of digital video technology in the 1980s has made it possible to use digital video compression in various kinds of applications. The effort to develop standards for coded representation of moving pictures, audio, and their combination is carried out in the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG is a group formed under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It operates in the framework of the Joint ISO/IEC Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) on Information Technology, which was formally Working Group 11 (WG11) of Sub-Committee 29 (SC29). The premise is to set the standard for coding moving pictures and the associated audio for digital storage media at about 1.5 Mbit/s so that a movie can be compressed and stored in a CD-ROM (Compact Disc – Read Only Memory). The resultant standard is the international standard for moving picture compression, ISO/IEC 11172 or MPEG-1 (Moving Picture Experts Group Phase 1). MPEG-1 standards consist of 5 parts, including: Systems (11172-1), Video (11172-2), Audio (11172-3), Conformance Testing (11172-4), and Software Simulation (11172-5). In this chapter, we will focus only on the video part.
