MPEG-2
MPEG-2 extends MPEG-1 to cover a wider range of applications. The primary application targeted during the definition process was all-digital transmission of broadcast-quality video at bit-rates of 4–9 Mbps. However, MPEG-2 is useful for many other applications, such as HDTV, and now supports bit-rates of 1.5–60 Mbps.
MPEG-2 is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 13818), and consists of eleven parts:
| Systems | ISO/IEC 13818–1 |
| Video | ISO/IEC 13818–2 |
| Audio | ISO/IEC 13818–3 |
| Conformance testing | ISO/IEC 13818–4 |
| Software simulation | ISO/IEC 13818–5 |
| DSM-CC extensions | ISO/IEC 13818–6 |
| Advanced audio coding | ISO/IEC 13818–7 |
| RTI extension | ISO/IEC 13818–9 |
| DSM-CC conformance | ISO/IEC 13818–10 |
| IPMP | ISO/IEC 13818–11 |
As with MPEG-1, the compressed bitstreams implicitly ...
