Does anyone else get envision a perfectly normal looking fly or perhaps a spider. With nano cameras.. and a nano wireless tcp/ip stack.. transmitting your life to ?

If only it were so easy to find that standard in detail on the web. That is merely an overview of MPEG-4. The actual in depth standard specification you have to buy from International Standards Organization. In the last two months I have been SCOURING the internet for MPEG specs. The closest I have come to attaining the information I was looking for was in berkeley's mpeg code. and other sources like Cornell's DALI Multimedia Virtual Machine. But you simply cannot find a page that tells you BIT-by-BIT MPEG-1 formatting. Try it. You might find a page of source code that you could cryptically intepret it. But ISO or someone has gone through great trouble to make online referrences dissapear I would imagine. The closest nitty gritty you can get to on MPEGs are a block-by-block diagram of how the stream is composed. But not header sizes or anything to that effect. Another good example which somewhat relates to MPEG is VideoCD. Sony and Philips hold the licenese to just about all of these specs (White Book being the one at handle). You can find information on what data/sector mode a VCD is written in. What time tracks the special first track ISO is written in. But someone find me a like to how the 'ENTRIES.VCD' file is laid out byte-by-byte. or INFO.VCD.. of Overlay graphic text.. or how to implement any of these features of VCD 2.0. Its not there.. your options: buy White Book for 200$ and sign an NDA -- which kills the prospect of opensource. vect0rx
MPEG-1 isn't any more of less 'shitty' to work with then MPEG-2 file format wise. MPEG-2 is strikingly similar to MPEG-1 when it comes to a *non-constrained*, all things being equal type of encoding. Where MPEG-2 goes above and beyond are its ability for interlacing and some extensions in the system stream for more flexibility. It isn't, however radically different. The two streams byte for byte just have 'extensions' here and there for some added features. To keep somewhat focused you were referring to video editors and what they perfer to work with. Well both mpeg formats are still I, P, and B frames. And the seek method within an MPEG stream is very similar between the two so I don't think either is more efficient then the other.. *from a video editing standpoint* vect0rx
