MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is the international standards body responsible for the series of compression and media coding standards that underpin the entire digital video industry, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and HEVC/H.265. Unlike commercial vendors, MPEG differentiates itself through its open, consensus-driven development process within ISO/IEC, producing foundational technologies that enable interoperability across billions of devices. Its standards have been recognized with five Technical Emmy Awards for categories such as AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, MPEG File Format, MPEG-DASH, and MPEG Font Format, reflecting its enduring impact on global media delivery. MPEG continues to expand its scope into areas such as 3D graphics, haptics, and genomic data coding, maintaining its role as the primary architect of the world's media infrastructure.
