MPEG

The Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group of ISO/IEC, has developed international standards for compressed digital video and audio. MPEG-1 provides resolution up to 1/4 of standard definition video, at bit rates up to roughly 1.5 Mbits/second. MPEG-2 provides a family of compression profiles and levels, including ones for High Definition Television. MPEG-4 provides an even higher range of resolution options, plus the ability to include image objects.
