31 MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are ready-for-use. How do the standards look like? (ISO-MPEG Standard - MPEG Audio Layer-3)
Both standards consist of 4 main parts.
The structure is the same for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
-1: System describes synchronization and multiplexing of video and audio
-2: Video describes compression of video signals
-3: Audio describes compression of audio signals
-4: Compliance Testing describes procedures for determining the characteristics
of coded bitstreams and the decoding process and for testing compliance with
the requirements stated in the other parts.
How do I get the MPEG documents?
