Mpeg-2
compression, standard, algorithm, file format
A variant of the MPEG video and audio compression algorithm and file format, optimised for broadcast quality video. MPEG-2 was designed to transmit images using progressive coding at 4 Mbps or higher for use in broadcast digital TV and DVD. An MPEG-2 player can handle MPEG-1 data as well.
MPEG-2 has been approved as International Standard IS-13818.

compression, standard, algorithm, file format A file format designed to merge very different things in one object, so you can store interactive material in this format (audio, video, questions, answers, overlays, non-linear order, calculation from user inputs, etc.) [Technical details?] (2001-12-02)
- Mpeg-2.5 audio layer 3
compression, standard, algorithm, file format A non-standard extention of MPEG-2 audio layer 3 by FhG for lowest sampling rates (8-12 kHz) targeting bit rates from 16-32 kbps (possibly 8-160 kbps). (2001-12-04)
- Mpeg-2 aac low profile
compression, standard, algorithm, file format A successor of MP3 allowing transparent coding at data rates of 75-80% of that of MP3. It is very different from MP3, only used MDCT, no subband coding. (2001-12-08)
- Mpeg-2 audio layer 3
compression, standard, algorithm, file format An extention of MPEG-1 audio layer 3 for lower sampling rates (16-24 kHz) targeting bit rates from 32-64 kbps (possibly 8-160 kbps). It is often combined with MPEG-2 LSF. (2001-12-04)
