MPEG-2 is a standard for "the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information". It describes a combination of lossy video compression and lossy audio data compression methods which permit storage and transmission of movies using currently available storage media and transmission bandwidth.

Requantization for transcoding of MPEG-2 intraframes
An investigation on requantization for transcoding of video signals is carried out. Specifically, MPEG-2 compatible discrete cosine transform (DCT) intraframe coding is addressed. The aim of this work is twofold: first, to provide a theoretical analysis ...
Support vector machine-based macro-block mode decision in MPEG-2 video compression
Compression either in videos or in images is currently headed by engineering and well-tuned heuristic approaches. Transmitting and storing raw video without compression needs more storage amount and network capability so compression is required. Many ...
MPEG-2 to HEVC Video Transcoding With Content-Based Modeling
This paper proposes an efficient MPEG-2 to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video transcoder. The objective of the transcoder is to migrate the abundant MPEG-2 video content to the emerging HEVC video coding standard. The transcoder introduces a ...
