Today we had a discussion on video compression, led by Nathaniel Houlares and Vitaly Grinblat. The article they handed out was very technical for some one that isn't in the field. Luckily Nat's explanation of how forward and bidirectional prediction for video frames works was great. Many of the questions focused on the MPEG-2 standard and it's longevity, because the article is from 1996.
Although there is a new standard in video encoding, mpeg4, mpeg2 is still widely used in the industry. After doing some research on mpeg4, I found this interesting article where it compares mpeg2 and mpeg4. Within this page there is a picture that compares two types of mpeg4 efficiency, mpeg4-2 and mpeg4-10.
