Video Image Compression

               The development of digital video technology has made it possible to use digital
               video  compression  for  a  variety  of  telecommunications  applications.
               Standardization of compression algorithms for video was first initiated by CCITT
               for teleconferencing and video telephony Multimedia standards for Video:

               Requirements for full-motion Video Compression


               Applications using MPEG standards can be symmetric or asymmetric. Symmetric
               applications are applications that require essentially equal use of compression and
               decompression. Asymmetric applications require frequent decompression.

               Symmetric  applications  require  on-line  input  devices  such  as  video  cameras,
               scanners and microphones for digitized sound. In addition to video and audio
               compression, this standards activity is concerned with a number of other Issues
               concerned with playback of video clips and sound clips. The MPEG standard has
               identified a number of such issues that have been addressed by the standards
               activity. Let us review these Issues.

               Random Access
               The expectations generated for multimedia systems are the ability to playa sound
               or video clip from any frame with that clip, irrespective of on what kind-of media
               the information is stored
