👉 The MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) project is a collaborative international effort that aims to develop and standardize technologies for the compression, transmission, and playback of multimedia content, particularly video and audio. Launched in 1988, MPEG has been instrumental in shaping modern digital media through standards such as MPEG-1 for video compression, MPEG-2 for broadcast and digital television, and MPEG-4 for interactive multimedia applications. These standards have enabled more efficient storage and distribution of high-quality video and audio content, supporting technologies from DVDs to streaming services. MPEG continues to evolve, with ongoing work on standards like H.265/HEVC for video compression and MPEG-H for immersive audio, ensuring that multimedia remains accessible and high-quality across a wide range of devices and platforms.
