Description

MPEG2 is a digital video compression format widely used for DVDs, digital TV, and some online video streaming. It efficiently compresses video and audio data to reduce file sizes while maintaining good quality. The format was standardized in the mid-1990s and played a key role in the transition from analog to digital broadcasting. Its enduring popularity stems from its balance of quality and compatibility across many devices.

Technical Details

MPEG2 uses lossy compression techniques, combining discrete cosine transform (DCT) and motion compensation to minimize data without heavily sacrificing quality. It supports various resolutions and frame rates, allowing flexibility for different broadcasting standards worldwide. The codec divides video into I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames to efficiently encode motion and detail. This layered approach helps MPEG2 maintain smooth video playback even at lower bitrates.

Additional Information & Use Cases

MPEG2 files typically use extensions like .mpg, .mpeg, or .vob when stored on DVDs. This format supports interlaced video, which was important for compatibility with older television displays. Interestingly, MPEG2 also forms the basis for other multimedia standards like HDTV broadcasts and some Blu-ray discs. Its robustness makes it a preferred choice for professional video production and archiving.
