	Digital TV Group \| Reference \| Tutorial \| MPEG Encoding
		MPEG takes the DCT compression algorithm and defines how it is used to reduce the data rate, how packets of video and audio data are multiplexed together in a way that will be understood by an MPEG decoder.
		MPEG itself is split into three main sub-groups, one responsible for each part, and a number of other sub-groups to advise on implementation matters, to perform subjective tests, and to study the requirements that must be supported.
		Compliant MPEG decoders are defined as being capable of decoding all bit-streams that comply to one of the defined profiles and levels.

	MPEG Video Encoding Process (MPEG-2)
		A word about MPEG encoding — It is a complex task to compress the original audio and video content material (approximately 2.5GB of information per minute) and reduce the size of this data into a manageable stream of information that can be placed onto a DVD disc.
		MPEG encoding retains the information about a reference frame (also known as an ‘I’ frame) then scans subsequent frames for differences in the content from frame to frame.
		While this MPEG description may be simple, the process is not and many factors within the compression (encoder) can affect the final output both in image detail and quality.

	MPEG Audio
		MPEG standards for digital audio cover encoding of audio, either by itself or as the audio component of a multimedia file or stream.
		MPEG encoders rely on the resolution used in the uncompressed audio file to set the range of resolution that will be used for the encoded file.
		The resolution of the encoded file is varied according to the complexity of the signal to achieve compression.

		In progressive scan streams, the basic unit of encoding is a frame, while in interlaced streams, the basic unit is a field.
		P and B pictures are first subjected to a process of "motion compensation", in which they are correlated with the previous (and in the case of B pictures, the next) image.
		The "motion vector" that maps the macroblock to its correlated area is encoded, and then the difference between the two areas is passed through the encoding process described below.

	GFF Format Summary: MPEG
		MPEG is used to encode audio, video, text, and graphical data within a single, synchronized data stream.
		MPEG (pronounced "em-peg") is an acronym for the Motion Picture Experts Group, a working group of the International Standards Organization (ISO) that is responsible for creating standards for digital video and audio compression.
		MPEG audio compression can reduce this data down to approximately 256 Kbits/second for a 6:1 compression ratio with no discernible loss in quality (lower reductions are also possible).

	MPEG Encoders
		The encoding process can't really tell the difference between picture content and noise, so the noise portion of the signal takes up precious memory that could be better spent of content.
		MPEG achieves its high compression rates by exploiting the fact that one video frame is very much like the frame that precedes it.
		MPEG encoding chips were very expensive when first introduced, costing over $2,000 for a 2-inch square piece of silicon, but prices are rapidly retreating with increased competition, and ever growing market size to offset the massive RandD costs to create them.

	Dr. Dobb's \| Motion Estimation & MPEG Encoding \| May 1, 2004
		Although the MPEG specification does not explicitly describe the encoding process, it does dictate how the encoder must generate the video bitstream so that it can be decoded by a "model decoder." Consequently, you are free to experiment with various encoding algorithms, so long as the integrity of the output bitstream is maintained.
		In the simplified MPEG encoder in Figure 1, motion estimation refers to the encoding step where a video frame is partitioned into nonoverlapping 16×16 macroblocks (MBs).
		MPEG frame repetition rates typically range from 24 to 30 frames per second (fps), so any method that reduces the number of calculations by even a single order of magnitude is worth investigating.

	MPEG . ORG - MPEG Starting Points and FAQs
		MPEG (pronounced M-peg), which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the nickname given to a family of International Standards used for coding audio-visual information in a digital compressed format.
		MPEG is originally the name given to the group of experts that developed these standards.
		The convener of the MPEG group is Leonardo Chiariglione aka the father of MPEG.

	MPEG encoding systems
		MPEG coding systems are based on economics in an important, and intentional way: put the cost at the sending end; make the encoders complex and expensive because there are few of them; and make the decoders cheap and simple because there are more receivers than transmitters.
		What we perhaps didn't know when MPEG was first shown to the public was that with sufficient research and development the result would create such a huge demand that encoders too would become (relatively) cheap and ubiquitously available in many professional applications.
		Real-time encoders are not yet available for HDTV H.264, but two manufacturers of MPEG equipment are expected to have H.264 real-time hardware encoders for standard definition at NAB2004.

	Alcorn McBride DVM2 MPEG Encoding Information (Site not responding. Last check: )
		MPG is short for MPEG, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group, the organization that codified the audio/video compression scheme used in the DVM2.
		The person encoding the material must be experienced and the hardware well-chosen, so users deciding whether or not to encode their material themselves should put a lot of thought into what would best suit their needs.
		Video material encoded without regard to bleeding colors and motion artifacts will include them, so it is important for the user to decide whether these elements are acceptable.

	MPEG Video Encoding (Site not responding. Last check: )
		MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is the ISO committee which is responsible for defining the various MPEG video specifications.
		Each of the 6 blocks per macroblock is encoded by carrying out a Fourier transform of the pixels in diagonal lines (see diagram) which maps the 8 x 8 block to 1 x 64, prior to DCT encoding.
		MPEG encoding can be allowed to degrade in this way to allow for lower bandwidths.

	Tsunami MPEG Encoder (TMPGEnc)
		It's also the most tweakable encoder: all the commercial encoders are more limited in their encoding parameters, either because they have a more expensive "power user" product, or in order to simplify their interface.

		Ligos' encoding time is predictable: although the standalone encoder doesn't give a completion time estimate, it does say how many frames it has encoded, how many frames are in the movie, and how long it has taken.
		They may be easier to tell apart when encoding different kinds of video, or encoding with different settings than used for this test.
		In other words, the faster the encoding mode you choose, the higher the frameserving overhead is relative to the encoding time.
