You know what? I've decided to make this the Jake Ludington Theme Day. Just the other day I got an email by a poor soul who was confused about media standards. It just so happens that Jake has a small article that breaks down the different MPEG formats.
There are so many different formats floating around, I frequently find myself double-checking to make sure I'm referencing the right thing. Without realizing it, many of us spend a great deal of time watching MPEG-2 format video either on DVD or delivered over cable and satellite to digital subscribers around the world because it remains the accepted compression standard for the television industry. Assuming you have the right software installed on your system, most of the subtle differences between the various video formats should be transparent. Things get tricky when you're missing a codec, which is software designed to interpret the audio or video information contained in a file.
You can see the whole article here and I'm done with the Jake Lovefest for now.
