CHAPTER III–MPEG-4&DVIX
MPEG-4 is an ISO/IEC standard being developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group).
These standards made interactive video on CD-ROM and Digital Television possible. MPEG-4
will be the result of another international effort involving hundreds of researchers and
engineers from all over the world. MPEG-4 is to be released in November 1998 and will be an
international Standard in January 1999.
MPEG-4 is building on the proven succes of three fields: digital television, interactive
graphics applications (synthetic content) and Wold Wide Web. And it will provide the
standardized technological elements enabling the integration of t he production, distribution
and content access paradigms of the three fields.
MPEG-4 is a graphics and video lossy compression algorithm standard. It is based on
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and Apple Quicktime technology. Wavelet based MPEG-4 files are
smaller than JPEG or Quicktime files, so they are designed to transmit video with text,
graphics and 2-d and 3-d animation layers. Wavelet techn ology can compress color images
at rates of 20:1 up to 300:1 and grayscale images at 2 to 50:1.
DviX is based on the MPEG-4 compression format. It is a new pay-per-view version of the
DVD movie-on-a-CD format. The discs are cheap to buy. DviX discs are encrypted and can
not be played in normal DVD players or in the DVD-ROM drives in newer computer.
Currently, the version of DviX have DviX 3.11, DviX 4.12 and DviX 5.05.
Support MP4 subtitle, including: English, simplified Chinese, complicated Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, West Europe and Middle Europe languages, but don’t support several subtitles at
the same time.
