About MJPEG (.MJPEG)
MJPEG stands for Motion JPEG, a video format where each frame is compressed as a separate JPEG image. It is commonly used in digital cameras and video capture devices due to its simplicity and ease of editing. Interestingly, MJPEG was one of the early formats to allow video streaming with individual frame access, which made editing frame-by-frame straightforward.
Technical Details
Technically, MJPEG compresses each video frame independently as a JPEG image, without inter-frame compression, which simplifies decoding and editing. This results in larger file sizes compared to formats like H.264 but reduces artifacts caused by motion compression. The format supports standard JPEG compression levels and can be decoded by most multimedia players and editing software due to its widespread adoption.
Additional Information & Use Cases
MJPEG files are often found in AVI and MOV containers and are popular in surveillance systems because they provide high-quality video with minimal lag. Despite being less efficient than modern codecs in compression, MJPEG remains favored for its balance of quality and low processing requirements. The format's development dates back to the early 1990s, coinciding with the rise of digital imaging technologies.
