The Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group of ISO/IEC with the mission to develop standards for coded representation of digital audio and video and related data. Since 1988, when it was established, the group has produced standards that help European industry offer end users an ever more enjoyable digital media experience.
