This DVD player lets you play videos saved in the popular MPEG 4 format. Every day there are
plenty of MPEG 4 files world-wide being transmitted, shared and distributed. This device not only
supports DVD playback but also includes the latest MPEG 4 video decoding technology.
What is MPEG 4?
MPEG 4 is an ISO/IEC standard developed by the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), a committee
that has also developed other standards that have won the Emmy Award as MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 (DVD
uses this standard for video applications).
MPEG 4 is a very efficient, digital video compressing standard that reduces the size of MPEG 2
videos up to one eighth of its original size. Most of the video streaming media are based on
this technology, such as DivX, WMV, etc. MPEG 4 is therefore the most popular technology used for
transmitting and distributing videos.
