‘Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.’ –Kafka
The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group of experts that was formed by ISO and IEC to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission.
It was established in 1988 by the initiative of Hiroshi Yasuda (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) and Leonardo Chiariglione, who has been from the beginning the Chairman of the group. (…)
The MPEG compression methodology is considered asymmetric as the encoder is more complex than the decoder.
