A Standard for Interactive Video

Leonardo Chiariglione, Didier LeGall, Hans-Georg Musmann, Hiroshi Yasuda

Several Digital Storage Media such as compact disk and DAT offer the possibility of interactive video applications. The bandwidth of these storage media is still inadequate to handle digital video combined (combined with audio) without sophisticated, high efficiency redundancy reduction techniques. Standards in this area are essential to the development of the related hardware and software industry. The development of an ISO standard in this area is being pursued by a Moving Picture Coding Expert Group (MPEG) with the target of a draft proposal for the standardization of the coded representation of moving images and audio information to be completed by September 1990. This paper describes the status of the work within MPEG.
