Coding of high quality moving pictures (MPEG-2)
M. Ghanbari · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2003
This chapter discusses the coding of high quality moving pictures. The MPEG-2 standard on the other hand is more generic for a variety of audio visual coding applications. It has to include error resilience for broadcasting, and ATM networks. Moreover, it has to deliver multiple programs simultaneously without requiring them to have a common time base. These require that the MPEG-2 transport packet length should be short and fixed.
