  2. MPEG multimedia delivery since the early 1990s. The compression ratio achieved with MPEG encoding is the ideal standard for digital video data delivery. MPEG standards do not specify the operation of the encoder but allow encoder implementations to improve over time. Hence, various features have been added from one profile to another, aiming to increase its complexity and efficiency. Here are a few MPEG standards that have allowed enormous innovation while maintaining their interoperable standard. These standards would guide you in selecting the desired video format Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) has defined a set of standards for video and audio compression coding and www.captioningstar.com

  3. MPEG 1 MPEG started developing coding formats in 1992. It first defined the MPEG-1 coding format that was commonly applied to Video-CD and low-quality video on DVD Video. It was also used in digital satellite/ cable TV services before MPEG-2 Codex was introduced. MPEG-1 downsamples the images to meet the low-bit requirement and uses only 24-30 Hz, resulting in moderate quality videos. Also, MPEG-1 was designed for coding progressive video at a transmission rate of around 1.5 million bits per second. The popular MPEG-1 audio layer III (MP3) audio compression is included in this format, which compresses a sound sequence to a smaller file preserving the original audio quality. www.captioningstar.com

  4. MPEG 2 MPEG-2 is considered to be the enhanced MPEG-1 format in terms of quality used for DVD productions. This standard was created to encode high-quality videos by coding interlaced images at transmission rates over 4 million bits per second. This codec was developed in 1994 and is commonly applied to digital television broadcasts, Video on Demand, DVD, VCD, and similar discs. It generally uses lossy compression techniques to reduce file sizes for audio and video files substantially. MPEG-2 encoded video files are much bigger and require a lot more bandwidth for streaming. In addition, with a few enhancements, MPEG-2 Video and Systems are also used in some HDTV transmission systems and are considered to be the standard format for over-the-air ATSC digital television. The MPEG-2 players can handle MPEG-1 data as well. www.captioningstar.com

  5. MPEG 3 The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) also developed a set of audio and video coding standards known as MPEG-3 that can handle HDTV signals at 1080p in the 20 to 40 megabits per second range. While MPEG-2 was being developed, an attempt was made with MPEG-3 to address the requirement for an HDTV standard. However, it soon became clear that HDTV could be supported by MPEG-2 at high data rates. As a result, MPEG-3 was incorporated into MPEG-2 in 1992, and HDTV was added as a separate profile. www.captioningstar.com

  6. MPEG 4 specifically designed for low-bandwidth (less than 1.5 Bit/sec bitrate) video/audio encoding while providing superior audio and video quality compared to MPEG-2 format. It is designed to deliver DVD-quality video (MPEG-2 format) at lower data rates and smaller file sizes. The MPEG-4 is an encoding method for portable devices like media players and mobile phones and online stores that hire video and audio files. MPEG-4, created in 1998, is the latest audio/video compression method by the MPEG group that is Though MPEG-4 absorbs many features from MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, it is very different in focus from these standards as it focuses on multimedia and interactivity. The MPEG-4 standard tackles the creation and definition of the media items in a multimedia presentation, their synchronization and relationship during transmission, and how users can interact with the media objects. In simple terms, the visual scenes are broken down into objects to be sent as separate layers, which are then composed at the decoder. In general, MPEG-4 is a far more versatile encoding format than MPEG-2 www.captioningstar.com

  7. Looking for a suitable format for your videos? MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 We had discussed the various MPEG standards for video compression and multimedia delivery. Thus, the most commonly used formats are MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Learn the differences between MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 before selecting a format for your videos. www.captioningstar.com

  9. Read our interesting case with an award-winning Marketing and Advertising agency. The customer wanted to embed CEA- 708 closed captions to her MPEG-2 video commercial ads, but we had to keep her TV station requirements in mind before working on it. There were a few constraints in adding captions to MPEG-2 files. We then decided to convert them into MPEG-4 to embed 708 captions as per requirement. Come up with your captioning requirements, and we would suggest you the required video format. In case you have your videos ready, let us suggest you the captioning formats www.captioningstar.com

  10. CaptioningStar, one of the top companies in the United States, offers reliable captions to videos encoded in any format. Also, enabling captions to videos is mandatory by law. Our services are strictly compliant with ADA and FCC guidelines. According to ADA, Title IV, all telephone and internet service companies must make their products and services accessible to people with disabilities such as hearing loss and visual impairments. This accommodates supporting visuals or video content with appropriate captions. Also, the FCC established closed captions mandatory for all video programs, especially news, entertainment, and information to all individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Thus all Video programming Distributors (VPDs)- cable operators, distributors, and other programming distributors caption all their TV programs. We ensure captions are accurate, synchronous, complete, and correctly placed. We add sidecar files for all MPEG video container formats and CEA- 608 and CEA-708 embedded captions for your library of videos and broadcasts. We don’t limit our captioning services accommodate any format of your choice. Contact us with your video specifications requirements and we absolutely add and sync captions. broadcasters, multi-channel satellite video to these formats but or TV station www.captioningstar.com
