- Description
- The MPG file format, short for MPEG Video, stands for Moving Picture Experts Group Video. It is a popular video file format standardized by the MPEG group, which is known for developing video and audio encoding standards. MPG files are compressed using either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression, making them suitable for storing video data in a compressed form without significantly sacrificing quality. This format is widely used for creating movies that are distributed over the internet due to its good balance between file size and video quality.
- Photo CD is a system designed by Kodak for digitizing and saving photos onto a CD. Launched in 1991 the discs were designed to hold nearly 100 high quality images, scanned prints and slides using special proprietary encoding.
