MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression.
It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a de facto standard encoding for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players.
MP3 is an audio-specific format that was co-designed by several teams of engineers at Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen, Germany, AT&T-Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, USA, Thomson-Brandt, and CCETT. It was approved as an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.

    A Beginner's Guide to MPEG-2 Standard
    MPEG is an acronym for Moving Picture Expets Group, a committee formed by the ISO(International Organization for Standardization) to develop this standard. MPEG was formed in 1988 to establish an international standard for the coded representation of moving pictures and association audio on digital storage media. Currently there are three MPEG stardards.

    A Guide to MPEG Fundamentals and Protocol Analysis
    MPEG is one of the most popular audio/video compression techniques because it is not just a single standard. Instead it is a range of standards suitable for different applications but based on similar principles. MPEG is an acronym for the Moving Picture Experts Group which was set up by the ISO (International Standards Organization) to work on compression.

    MPEG-4 Industry Forum
    The MPEG-4 Forum aims to further the adoption of the MPEG-4 Standard, by establishing MPEG-4 as an accepted and widely used standard among application developers, service providers, content creators and end users. This site contains many links to MPEG-4 resources, including workshops and industry news.

    MPEG Official Home Page
    This is the home page of the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) a working group of ISO/IEC in charge of the development of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video. Established in 1988, the group has produced MPEG-1, the standard on which such products as Video CD and MP3 are based, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, the standard for multimedia for the fixed and mobile web and MPEG-7. . .

    Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) @ Wikipedia
    Moving Picture Experts Group (acronym:MPEG) was formed by the ISO to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission.[1] Its first meeting was in May 1988 in Ottawa, Canada. As of late 2005, MPEG has grown to include approximately 350 members per meeting from various industries, universities, and research institutions. MPEG's official designation is ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 WG11. Contents [hide] 1 Overview 2 Standards 3 See...

    MPEG-4 Beyond Conventional Video Coding: Object Coding, Resilience and Scalability
    An important merit of the MPEG-4 video standard is that it not only provided tools and algorithms for enhancing the compression efficiency of existing MPEG-2 and H.263 standards, but also contributed key innovative solutions for new multimedia applications such as: real-time video streaming to PCs and cell-phones over Internet and wireless networks, interactive services, and multimedia access. Many of these solutions are currently used in...

Mark Twain quote for the day:

It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich-these are wholesome; but to begin it poor and prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.
