Summary:	"MPEG is more than a compression technique, it also standardizes the way in which compressed data are transmitted. The creation of MPEG elementary streams and their multiplexing into transport streams is dealt with in detail, along with the problems involved in synchronizing all of the signals in a multiplex. The practical testing of MPEG transport streams is also considered." "MPEG is a remarkable technology but it is not without pitfalls. The book includes useful practical tips for guidance when using compression and advice on how to minimize quality loss."--Jacket.
