Question: What is MPEG-2? [Email To a Friend] |
| Answer: MPEG-2 is a video compression algorithm that is part of the DVD-Video, Digital Broadcast Satellite, and Digital TV (including HDTV) standard. The algorithm is developed by the Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG).
MPEG-2 effectively compresses the video picture to about 1/40 of its original size.
The picture quality from a MPEG-2 encoded source is superior to that of MPEG-1 and ideally suited to the DVD standard.
