MPEG-1
MPEG-1 is the designation for a group of audio and video coding standards agreed upon by MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group). MPEG-1 video is used by the Video CD format. The output quality at usual VCD bitrates is roughly that of a VCR. MPEG-1 audio layer 3 is the full name for the popular audio format MP3.
MPEG-1 consists of several "parts", as follows:
- Synchronization and multiplexing of video and audio.
- Compression codec for non-interlaced video signals.
- Compression codec for perceptual coding of audio signals. The standard defines three "layers," or levels of complexity, of MPEG audio coding.
- Procedures for testing conformance.
- Reference software.
