== | ==Codecs defined in AniDB== | ||
Instead of keeping track of every possible codec ever conceived they are grouped together in AniDB. After the introduction of {{Avdump-current-version}} it should never be necessary to feed AniDB this data manually. | |||

MPEG-2 (1994) is a standard used primarily to compress audio and video (AV) digital data. MPEG-2 is the designation for a group of coding standards for AV, agreed upon by MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group), and published as the ISO/IEC 13818 international standard. MPEG-2 is typically used to encode audio and video for broadcast signals, including direct broadcast satellite and Cable TV. MPEG-2, with some modifications, is also the coding format used by standard commercial DVD movies. | MPEG-2 (1994) is a standard used primarily to compress audio and video (AV) digital data.
