Moving JPEG

graphics, compression (M-JPEG) A compression technique for

moving images which applies JPEG still image compression

to each frame of a moving picture sequence.

Play-back requires a machine capable of decompressing and

displaying each JPEG image quickly enough to sustain the

required frame rate of the picture sequence.

There is no standard for Moving JPEG as with JPEG, but there

are JPEG compression chips (for example see Zoran) which are designed to work at

television frame rates and resolutions.

See also MPEG and MPEG2.
