Description/Introduction

This part of ISO/IEC 11172 was developed in response to the growing need for a common format for representing compressed video on various digital storage media such as CDs, DATs, Winchester disks and optical drives. This part of ISO/IEC 11172 specifies a coded representation that can be used for compressing video sequences to bitrates around 1,5 Mbit/s. The use of this part of ISO/IEC 11172 means that motion video can be manipulated as a form of computer data and can be transmitted and received over existing and future networks. The coded representation can be used with both 625 line and 525 line television and provides flexibility for use with workstation and personal computer displays.

This part of ISO/IEC 11172 was developed to operate principally from storage media offering a continuous transfer rate of about 1,5Mbit/s. Nevertheless it can be used more widely than this because the approach taken is generic.
