ISO Moving Pictures Expert Group standard 11172, designed for CD-ROM applications.

a codec designed for near-VHS quality video. MPEG-1 is primarily designed for CD-ROM delivery of content through various media.

A standard designed to allow for playback of video on CD. VCDs are encoded with MPEG-1. This format has dimensions of 352x240 pixels, and is sometimes considered comparable to VHS in quality. The bit rate of a standard MPEG1 is 1.5Mbps. Included in MPEG-1 is a popular standard for audio called MP3 (MP3 is technically MPEG-1 layer 3)

A video compression algorithm that is part of the Video CD standard. The algorithm is developed by the Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG-1 effectively compresses the video picture to about 1/140 of its original size. Also see MPEG-2. back to the previous page

An ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/ International Electrotechnical Commission) standard for medium quality and medium bitrate video and audio compression. It allows video to be compressed by the ratios in the range of 50:1 to 100:1, depending on image sequence type and desired quality. The encoded data rate is targeted at 1.5Mb/s - this was a reasonable transfer rate of a double-speed CD-ROM player (including audio and video). VHS-quality playback is expected from this level of compression. The Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) also established the MPEG-2 standard for high-quality video playback at a higher data rates. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD. MPEG FAQ

Video CD format that includes the MP3 audio compression format.

The first MPEG standard, MPEG-1 is geared for CD-ROM and T1 bit-rate transmission. At 1.5 Mbits/second, the algorithm uses both interframe and intraframe coding to achieve quality video at a lower bandwidth.

Standard for coding of moving pictures and associated audio for digital storage media up to about 1.5 Mbps. Its quality is comparable to VHS video (which is what most North Americans have in their homes.) This standard is designed to work at 1.2 Mbps, which is the data rate of CD-ROMs, thus the video could be played from CDs. The quality however is not sufficient for TV broadcast.

As targeting a general digital storage medium, provides a picture quality of VCR' level.

When television signals are digitised very large quantities of data are generated. This data would swamp normal local area networks. Fortunately, a large proportion of this information is redundant, or nearly redundant, and may easily be discarded as part of a "compression scheme". Telemedia Systems has chosen the most widely accepted compression standard, which is the MPEG (Motion Picture Expert Group) standard. IPV is fully committed to MPEG in both its current and future forms.

A standard defined by the MPEG group for download.

format which produces high quality video and audio streams at approximately 2x CD-ROM data rates. Standard MPEG-1 is full frame rate (24 - 30 fps, depending on the source) with a quarter size image (352x240), and is useful for playback on most new desktop computers.

International standards for the digital compression of audio/video.

An improved form of digital signal compression developed by the Moving Pictures Expert Group, a division of ISO (International Standards Organization). This system achieves a frame rate of 30 per second, with more than a 6:1 compression ratio. MPEG-a achieves approximately one forth the resolution of broadcast television. The system is too slow for processing high quality images.

The first MPEG standard for digital video compression. Released in 1992, it uses data rates of less than 1.8 Mbps and frame sizes of 352x240. Used in the popular Video CD format. MPEG-1 was designed to be played back successfully even on relatively low-powered computers.

Standard for compressing progressive scanned images with audio. Bit rate is from 1.5 Mbps up to 3.5 Mbps.

This video compression standard was originally investigated with the aim of providing moving video compression that could store average length feature films on CD's. As this is meant really for mass storage applications, delay and symmetry are not important. However, a number of features for such applications were incorporated, specifically

Compressed audio and video bit stream designed to fit into a bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps - the same data rate of audio CD’s , single-speed CD-ROMs, and digital audio tape (DAT). The systems component of the standard enables integration of audio and video streams with the corresponding timestamp to allow synchronization of both streams. Most MPEG-1 decoder chips support a level of quality comparable to a VHS videotape of 352x240 resolution at 30 frames per second.

Initial video and audio compression standard. Later used as the standard for Video CD, and includes the popular Layer 3 (MP3) audio compression format.

Is MPEG standard 11172, designed for CD-ROM applications.

Good quality video and audio encoding standard. Quarter-screen(?). Requires 1.5Mbps or greater.

The compression system developed for Video CD, video games, Video-On -Demand, etc.

Video compression format developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group using perceptual coding and predictive technologies to eliminate data from an audio/video signal and thus encode it into a smaller size.

The most common implementations of the MPEG-1 standard provide a video resolution of 352×240 at 30 fps. This produces video quality slightly below the quality of conventional VCR videos.

ISO/IEC standard designed for low bandwidth of compressed digital video and audio. VCD uses this format with resolution of 352x288@25fps (PAL) or [email protected] (NTSC)

1/4 broadcast quality which translates to 352 x 240 pixels. Typically compressed at 1.5 Mbps.

Specific data transmission protocol (format) developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG-1 protocol is not as advanced as MPEG-2 protocol.

The first version of the MPEG format, optimized for CD-ROM. It uses discrete cosine transform (DCT) and Huffman coding to remove spatially redundant data within a frame and block-based motion compensated prediction (MCP) to remove data which is temporally redundant between frames. Audio is compressed using subband encoding.

the first in a series of audio-video compression standards from the Moving Pictures Experts Group. It is commonly used on interactive CD-ROMs and Video CDs. MPEG-1 Layer III format, or more popularly known as MP3, belongs to this standard.

The "Moving Pictures Expert Group" developed this ISO standard for CD-ROM applications. MPEG-1 is typically used for low data rate video like on Video CD’s.

An audio/visual compression standard designed by MPEG for...

n. The original MPEG standard for storing and retrieving video and audio information, designed for CD-ROM technology. MPEG-1 defines a medium bandwidth of up to 1.5 Mb/s, two audio channels, and noninterlaced video. See also MPEG (definition 1). Compare MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4.

A video compression method (6:1), which plays at 30 fps. The quality of the picture is low, with only one-fourth the resolution of analog TV.

MPEG-1 defines a group of Audio and Video (AV) coding and compression standards agreed upon by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). MPEG-1 video is used by the Video CD (VCD) format and less commonly by the DVD-Video format. The quality at standard VCD and bitrate is roughly that of a VHS tape.
