The standard for multimedia on the Web.
A video compression standard that offers high performance video with good resolution and moderate demand on transmission bandwidth. Most MPEG4 solutions today, however, are focused on high-end applications, since they are very costly.
a more advanced version of MPEG2 with greater compression capabilities. As a result, a higher quantity of television programming and interactive services can be delivered over the same network at the same quality. Also known as a low bit-rate streaming protocol.
MPEG4 is the latest MPEG codec and supports 3D content, low bit rate encoding, and support for Digital Rights Management, which controls the use of copyrighted digital work. MPEG4 is used for web streaming media, broadcast television, videophones, and CD distribution.
MPEG4 is an ISO standard intended to satisfy the needs of content authors, network service providers and end users. It is a multifaceted, extensible standard, and is an attempt to provide all things to all people. It covers sprites, speech synthesis, streaming video, multimedia and many other aspects including a foreground-background coding technique which will likely supplant MPEG2 for broadcast applications as it uses about one-half the bandwidth for equivalent quality. The most common version found in the PC environment is known as MPEG4 Part 3 which includes moving images and sound.
MPEG4 has a high compression ratio, which creates a small file size that's suitable for personal computer and Internet applications.
The newest version of mpeg compression (reduction in the size of data) used by Microsoft in the Windows Media streaming system. (also see mpeg)
A standard for digital video and digital audio compression.
Motion Picture Experts Group 4 (Standard - Compressed Video at 64 Kbps)
MPEG4, the latest compression method standardized by MPEG group, is used for both streaming and downloadable web content, and is also the video format employed by a growing number of portable video recorders. One of the best-known MPEG4 encoders is DivX which since version 5 has been fully standard-compliant MPEG4 encoder. View DVD to MPEG4 Ripper and MPEG4 to MP3 Converter.
MPEG4 is a technology for compressing voice, video and related control data and is one of the MPEG international standards. It is currently a focus of attention due to the fact that it enables high speed and stable video transmission even in heretofore difficult environments such as mobile communication. Incorporation of this leading edge technology will imbue 3G terminals with a rich multimedia capability.
