Abstract

This group was chartered by the International Standards Organization (ISO) to standardize a coded representation of video and associated audio suitable for digital storage and transmission media. Digital storage media include magnetic computer disks, optical compact disk read-only-memory (CD-ROM), digital audio tape (DAT), etc. Transmission media include telecommunications networks, home coaxial cable TV (CATV), and over-the-air digital video. The group’s goal has been to develop a generic coding standard that can be used in many digital video implementations. Thus, particular applications will typically require some further specification and refinement to be useful. As of this writing, MPEG has produced two standards, known colloquially as MPEG1 and MPEG2. Work also continues on methods and applications for future coding standards.
