Digital Video: An Introduction to MPEG-2

by Barry G. Haskell, Atul Puri, Arun N. Netravali

Digital Video offers comprehensive coverage of the MPEG-2 audio/visual digital compression standard. The treatment includes the specifics needed to implement an MPEG-2 Decoder, including the syntax and semantics of the coded bitstreams. Since the MPEG-2 Encoders are not specified by the standard, and are actually closely held secrets of many vendors, the book only outlines the fundamentals of encoder design and algorithm optimization.

This is a definitive guide to MPEG 2 - complete inner working of the standards, algorithms and all important concepts. This is truly a bible for those who are in the field.
