The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is an international organization that develops standards for compressing and transmitting digital audio and video. Its goal is to make multimedia files smaller without losing quality, enabling efficient storage, streaming, and playback across devices. MPEG's standards, such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.264, are widely used in applications like DVD videos, internet streaming, and digital broadcasting. These standards help ensure that audio and video data can be easily shared and viewed consistently across different platforms and devices, facilitating the global digital media industry.
