Creating MPEG-2 Output Files
Compressor provides the tools you need to create
exceptional MPEG-2 transcoded files.
MPEG-2 is an internationally accepted compression standard developed by the Motion
Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG-2 allows you to create broadcast-quality video
files and was designed to support high-resolution, high bit-rate video. It is the video
compression format used for high-quality video titles on DVD and home satellite dish
systems. All DVD players contain the hardware required for MPEG-2 playback.
