Introductio
n General
The explosion of digital data in our digital age has
led to a growing need for efficient data storage and
transmission.

Data compression has become an essential


solution to meet this requirement.

This technology is based on the principle of


reducing the size of digital files while preserving the
integrity and quality of the information they contain.

Definition of data compression :

Data compression is the process of reducing the size of files or digital data streams
while preserving most of the information they contain.

It is based on various techniques and algorithms to eliminate redundancies and


unnecessary information in data, thereby saving storage space, reducing the bandwidth
required for transmission, and improving data efficiency, data management.
Applications of data compression :

Sound Compression
(Audio)

Video compression is the process of reducing the size of video files while preserving
their visual quality.

Video compression is a complex field that combines mathematical algorithms and


technology to balance file size reduction with acceptable video quality.

Video compression has a wide range of applications in various fields like :

● Video Streaming: such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and many others.
● Video Conferencing: Applications like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype
● Digital Television Broadcasting: It allows broadcasters to transmit high-definition (HD) and
ultra-high-definition (UHD) content efficiently.
Diagram illustrates the
compression of videos in general:
MPEG
MPEG :
• MPEG is a popular file format for audio and video.

• MPEG was developed by the working group formed by IEC and ISO, which is also
known as Moving Picture Experts Group.

• For broadcasting applications with limited resources, MPEG is one of the best
options as it allows streaming high quality video on platforms like the Internet.

• The file format is supported by most electronic products and can be played using
software like Windows Media Player, Cyberlink PowerDVD, Apple Quick Time
Player, etc.
MPEG Features:
● Compared to most formats, are smaller in size.
● Sophisticated compression techniques.
● Compared to most formats, superior audio and video quality.
● Major standards are: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG3, MPEG4, and MPEG7 MPEG21.
● Many simple, cheap decoders.
● Supported by all popular browsers.
● Both a non-commercial and cross-bros
● High image resolution and multi-channel sound technique.
● Uses asymmetric compression methodology.
MPEG2
vs
MPEG4
Definitions:
MPEG2:
• is a standard for coding the video data and audio data related to it.
• The standard contains a description of the methods of lossy compression of audio and
video data.
• MPEG-2 is also known as H .262.

MPEG4:
• MPEG-4, also known as ISO/IEC 14496, is an audiovisual object coding standard specified by the
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The MPEG-4 standard first specifies techniques for managing
the content of scenes comprising one or more audio-video objects
Video quality:
The MPEG-2 file format aims to produce lossless quality and is
not specifically designed for online streaming. So MPEG-2 files always
benefit from better video and audio quality. As a result, they will be
larger. But the quality of MPEG-4 files is also quite good, with some
inevitable quality loss for ease of distribution.

File name Extensions:


MPEG2: .mpg, .mpeg, .m2v, .mp2, mp3 are some of a number of filename
extensions used MPEG-2 audio and video file formats.

MPEG4: .mp4, .m4a, .m4b, .m4r, .m4v are some file extensions of MPEG4
video/audio.
Compression :
In terms of compression ratio, MPEG-4 is superior to MPEG-2
because it benefits from an advanced compression algorithm
compared to MPEG-2. MPEG-2 applies lossy video and audio
data compression methods.

File size
MPEG-2 files are generally larger than MPEG-4 format files due
to different compression methods and other reasons. This makes
MPEG-4 files relatively more suitable for distribution over the
Internet.
Applications :

Although MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specialize in their areas, MPEG-4 is


generally more widely applicable than MPEG-2. MPEG-2 is more suitable for TV
broadcasting and DVDs, while MPEG-4 files are more suitable for mobile devices
and Internet streaming. MP4 is particularly important among these. which can
be played on almost all platforms. So if you want greater adaptability, you can
convert MPEG to MP4.
MPEG-2:

• Digital Television: Transmitting high-quality TV signals.


• DVDs: Storing movies and other video content.
• Video Streaming: Delivering video content online.
• Digital Cameras and Camcorders: Recording video with smaller file sizes.
• Medical Imaging: Storing and sharing medical images efficiently.
• Video Games: Reducing game storage requirements.
• Digital Signage: Displaying video content in public places.
• Surveillance Systems: Recording and storing video footage.
• Archiving: Preserving valuable video and audio content.
• Various other applications: Video editing, animation, educational software, etc.
MPEG-4
is more versatile and suitable for
a wide range of applications.

It might be hard to really compare and decide on which one is
better between MPEG2 VS MPEG4. There are surely a lot of
considerations to look into. However, it will still be based on the
agenda of using each.
Convert MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
AVAide Video Converter. This tool can freely convert video,
audio and multimedia files between more than 300 formats such as
MPEG, MP4, WMV, VOB, MOV, 3GP, MKV, MP3, FLAC and AAC. It
provides 1080p/4K/5K/8K quality video output and does not cause any
damage to video quality during the conversion process. With
acceleration technology, it can increase the conversion speed up to 30
times faster. Besides converting formats, it provides a comprehensive
set of video editing tools. You can edit, rotate, crop, trim, split, merge,
enhance and compress your videos with it. Moreover, you can even
create 3D videos with its help.
