MPEG-2

Glossary Link MPEG-2 (Motion Picture Experts Group - 2) is a compression standard for digital television.

MPEG-2 compression enables digital television broadcasters to transmit video streams with higher Glossary Link resolution and audio streams with higher quality sound while using as little Glossary Link bandwidth as possible.

MPEG-2 is capable of reducing the amount of bandwidth utilized by as much as 55 to 1.

MPEG-2 is utilized by DVB, HDTV, and Glossary Link DVD.

MPEG-2 has been adopted as ISO Standard 13818-1.
