MPEG is a working group of ISO/IEC creating standards for digital video and audio compression. MPEG file formats are used to encode audio, video, text, and graphical data within a single, synchronized data stream.
MPEG has standardized the following compression formats and ancillary standards:
- MPEG-1: Initial video and audio compression standard;
- MPEG-2: Transport, video and audio standards for broadcast-quality television;
- MPEG-3: Originally designed for HDTV, but abandoned as MPEG-2 was sufficient for HDTV;
- MPEG-4: Expands MPEG-1 to support video/audio “objects”, 3D content, low bitrate encoding and support for Digital Rights Management.
