MPEG Compressed Movie

Quick Info

MPEG is a popular standard for video compression. Like JPEG for still images, it uses lossy compression, so the size of the movie depends on the quality. To decode an MPEG file you need a decoder. Hardware decoders are quite expensive, but very fast. Software decoders are slower, but some of them are available as shareware (eg.: VMPEG)
