MPEG-4 HD

MPEG means Moving Picture Experts Group. This group is working under the direction of International Standards Organization (ISO) for the standards of compressed motion pictures and associated audio.

MPEG-1 had been completed on October 1992 known as International Standard ISO-11172. Video CD (VCD) adapted MPEG-1 as its video standard for CD-ROM media. VCD's audio adapted MP2 audio. The normal MPEG-1 video resolution is 352x240 or 240p.

DVD adapted the MPEG-2 as video standard and AC3 as audio standard. The normal MPEG-2 video resolution is 704x480 or 480p. Usually the movie data of DVD is stored in the .vob file.

MPEG-4 or MP4 is the latest MPEG standard for low-bit-rate streaming video. It is a standard that is suitable for wireless multimedia and broadband applications. Its resolution can be 480p. Compare to DVD video, MP4 requires smaller space with the same picture quality.

MP4 HD is a standard to apply MPEG-4 video on High Definition video. Its resolution is defined as 720p or 1080p.
