Abstract
The Motion Picture Experts’ Group was assembled by the International Standards Organization (ISO) to establish standards for the compression, encoding, and decompression of motion video. MPEG-1 [IS92b] is a standard supporting compression of image resolutions of approximately 352×288 at 30 fps into a data stream of 1.5 Mbps. This data rate is suitable for pressing onto CD-ROM. The MPEG-2 standard [IS93b] supports compression of broadcast television (704×576 at 30 fps) and HDTV (1920×1152 at 60 fps) of up to 60 Mpixels/sec (appx. 700 Mb) at compression ratios of roughly three times those expected of moving JPEG [IS92a] (playback rates of up to 80 Mbps).
