MPEG II –vs- MPEG I
The MPEG process described is common to both MPEG II and MPEG I
thus, explaining the backward compatibility between the two.
The main differences between MPEG II and I are:
-
MPEG II used in DVD uses a 720 x 480 resolution while MPEG I
used in VIDEO CDs carries a resolution of 350 x 240. This differ-
ence alone accounts for a 75% reduction in data using MPEG I over
MPEG II.
-
MPEG II compresses data to about 1/40 on average while MPEG I
compresses data to about 1/140 on average. Therefore 250Mbit/s
are reduced to 6.25Mbits/s on average using MPEG II.
-
MPEG II uses a variable rate compression while MPEG I uses a
fixed rate.
350 x 240 = 84,000 pixels
720 x 480 = 350,000 pixels
MPEG I represents
84,000/350,000 = 25% of MPEG II.
MPEG II additional information
MPEG II is a broad standard which encompasses many resolutions
including HDTV. These variations in MPEG II are defined by Levels and
Profiles.
DVD is just one of the many profiles and levels defined by MPEG II
called Main Profile at Main Level ( MP@ML).
