Digital Video: An Introduction to MPEG-2 (Digital Multimedia Standards S.)
Digital Video offers comprehensive coverage of the MPEG-2 audio/visual digital compression standard. The treatment includes the specifics needed to implement an MPEG-2 Decoder, including the syntax and semantics of the coded bitstreams. Since the MPEG-2 Encoders are not specified by the standard, and are actually closely held secrets of many vendors,
the book only outlines the fundamentals of encoder design and algorithm optimization.
