The standard on which products such as digital television set-top boxes and DVDs are based.
MPEG2 is a compression method used to store both audio and video information. It uses a complex algorithm to encode the information for storage and playback. MPEG2 compression is based on the use of "I frames" to create an initial video frame and then stores only the differences between the first I frame and the frames after it. When the image is completely different to the original I frame a new I frame will be created. Because of this method MPEG2 is ideal for storage and playback, but is terrible for video editing. The A/V information found on DVD is MPEG2, and the digital output of a DVD player (or a PC's DVD player card) to an A/V receiver is AC3 i.e. Dolby Digital. MP3 is an audio format based on audio only MPEG2. MP3 allows you to encode an entire CD quality album (~70 minutes) to less than 100mb on your hard drive.
MPEG2 is an abbreviation for the Moving Picture Experts Group, working committee of experts. MPEG2 is a higher ranking standard of MPEG1 which was adopted in 1991 as the standard for CD-ROM. MPEG2 was adopted in 1994 as the universal picture coding system for broadcasting and communications as well as for storage media such as optical disc. MPEG2 multichannel audio is one of the digital surround sound system available on DVD discs, another option for Dolby® Digital.
Moving Picture Experts Group. The second set of flexible compression standards created by this group is called MPEG2. This set of standards takes advantage of the fact that over 95% of digital video is redundant, however some portions are much less redundant. MPEG2 handles this by using higher bit rates for more complex pictures and lower bit rates for simple pictures. With MPEG2 only about 4 or 5 minutes (depending on quality) of video would fit on a 4.7GB DVD.
Compression offers higher resolution images and same frame rates as MPEG1. Only modern computers can decode this format, as it generally demands high computing capacity.
an international standard that enables the conversion of moving pictures into a highly compressed stream of digital data for transmission.
MPEG2 is used for digital television, digital satellite TV services, and digital cable television. It also supports interlaced video (video optimized for CRT monitors). MPEG2 is best suited for higher bit rates, and features Transport Streams, which optimize the transport of digital video and audio over unreliable media. MPEG2 decoders are capable of playing MPEG1 content. MPEG2 also offers a higher level of audio quality than MPEG1.
Standard for video/audio compression for optimal usage of storage space. Used in Super VideoCD and DVD.
MPEG2 is the second in a family of motion video and audio compression standards. The result of a natural evolution from MPEG1, it provides DCT lossy compression ranging from low to rather high quality although not as good as MPEG1. It is intended for broadcast quality applications, with resolutions based upon the CCIR (now ITU-R) 601 standard for video coding. It uses three coding protocols: Intraframe coding or I-Pictures (no prediction), P-Pictures, incorporating motion prediction from the previous video image and, B-Pictures (bi-directional prediction) which include motion prediction one frame ahead as well as from the previous frame. MPEG2 also has a coding mode at 24 frames per second, matching that of motion picture film, useful for offline image encoding. MPEG2 has largely supplanted MPEG1 and is used for coding multimedia images from CD-ROM, DVD, broadcasting, pay TV and high quality videoconferencing. MPEG2 also includes more coding decision points than MPEG1, permitting rather fine control of image quality over time in response to the needs of other channels in applications like DBS. This standard is also known as ITU-T H.262
Motion Picture Experts Group 2 (standard – compressed video at 4 to 9 Mb/s)
This is a standard established by the Moving Picture Experts Group for transmitting broadcast-quality images equivalent to S-VHS. It is one of the compression technologies used in DVD and digital television.
MPEG2 format, a video standard developed by MPEG group, is often used in digital TVs, DVD movies and in SVCDs. It is not a successor for MPEG1, but an addition instead. both of these formats have their own purposes in life. MPEG1 is meant for medium-bandwidth usage and MPEG2 is meant for high-bandwidth/broadband usage. View DVD to SVCD Ripper. MPEG4 MPEG4, the latest compression method standardized by MPEG group, is used for both streaming and downloadable web content, and is also the video format employed by a growing number of portable video recorders. One of the best-known MPEG4 encoders is DivX which since version 5 has been fully standard-compliant MPEG4 encoder. View DVD to MPEG4 Ripper and MPEG4 to MP3 Converter.
Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG is the digital signal compression standard used by digital satellite systems. Compressing the audio and video signals is necessary to allow more channles to be broadcast over the satellite's available bandwidth.
an alternative digital surround sound system to Dolby Digital. Like Dolby Digital, MPEG2 also uses six independent channels of digital sound.
This is a secondary version of MPEG that is capable of higher quality because of the larger file size/associated compression algorithm. *.MP2 is the file extension.
The digital signal compression standard used by digital satellite systems. Compressing the audio and video signals allows more channels to be broadcast over the same bandwidth. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group.

Motion Picture Experts Group. The compression standard for digital video.
MPEG2 is a video compression method. Compression is used to combine several programs into one satellite transponder.

Video compression standard selected by MPEG. Designed to provide a resolution of 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second. Likely to be the leading compression algorithm for a range of video applications including video on demand. Node - Any single computer connected to a network.
Motion Picture Expert Group 2. The industry standard.
Although this codec is related to the MPEG formats mentioned above, it's used by DVD camcorders, commercially produced DVD movies, home-recorded DVD discs, and digital satellite TV broadcasts to deliver much higher-quality video. MPEG2 rivals the Mini DV format when it comes to picture quality.
This is an audio / visual compression standard designed by MPEG for devices that can read or write about 4 Mbits/second worth of data.
