What is MPEG-4?
'''MPEG-4''' is a [[video]] and [[Digital audio|audio]] standard (type). Movies in MPEG-4 need less space on a [[computer]]. At the same time, they still have [[DVD]] [[quality]]. MPEG means Moving Picture Experts Group. Many researchers and engineers all over the world worked to develop MPEG-4. The work on this standard ended in 1998. MPEG-4 became a standard all over the world. Movies that use MPEG-4 standard are high quality and take up less computer [[Read-only memory|memory]]. Older standards were [[MPEG-1]] and [[MPEG-2]]. Compared to these older versions, MPEG-4 has more features. For example, it has a way to fix problems, lots of quality and size choices, and a better picture quality. MPEG-4 is designed for the special needs of computers, [[television]] areas and telecommunications. It is able to be individual objects in a certain area, besides rectangular [[Pixel|pieces of computer information]]. For example, this could be a car driving in front of a background. The background does not change. The car can be treated as separate thing, because it is not a fixed background. This is because MPEG-4 can be many rectangular images at the same time. ==Related pages== *[[VHS]] *[[DVD]] *[[MP3]] == Other websites == *[http://www.usb4ever.com/mpeg-4-p.html MPEG-4] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009025655/http://www.usb4ever.com/mpeg-4-p.html |date=2007-10-09 }} - Additional information on the format for more advanced users [[Category:Computer file formats]] [[Category:Audio technology]] [[Category:Display technology]]
