Book Description
A complete professional `bible' on all aspects of audio and video compression using MPEG technology. The MPEG Handbook is both a theoretical and practical treatment of the subject. Fundamental knowledge is provided alongside practical guidance eg how to avoid quality loss or the creation of MPEG elementary streams and their multiplexing into transport streams (including the problems involved in synchronizing all of the signals in a multiplex). The clarity of explanation and depth of technical detail combine to make this book an essential and definitive reference work. Gives a comprehensive treatment of significant extensions made available by MPEG4, such as object coding, mesh coding and animation.
Previously titled MPEG2, the book has now been extensively revised to cover the all the latest standards, including a description of the MPEG4 standard and the latest applications of the technology, such as the delivery of compressed audio, video, graphics and interactive capability over the internet and broadband networks. It gives a comprehensive treatment of significant extensions made available by MPEG4, such as object coding, mesh coding and animation.
John Watkinson is an international consultant in audio, video and data recording. He is a Fellow of the AES, a member of the British Computer Society and a chartered information systems practitioner. He presents lectures, seminars, conference papers and training courses worldwide. He is the author of many other Focal Press books, including: the Kraszna-Krausz award winning MPEG-2; The Art of Digital Audio; An Introduction to Digital Video; The Art of Sound Reproduction; An Introduction to Digital Audio; TV Fundamentals and Audio for Television. He is also co-author, with Francis Rumsey, of The Digital Interface Handbook, and contributor to the Loudspeaker and Headphone Handbook, 3rd edition.
*Understand the principles of MPEG technology
*Keep up to date with the main and latest standards - MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG4
*Shows how MPEG technology can be applied for the best results

After reading this book, engineers will have a complete understanding of latest applications of the technology, such as the delivery of compressed audio, video, graphics and interactive capability over the internet and broadband networks.
Customer Reviews:
Good for introduction of concepts and nomenclature .but ...........2005-02-03
The last 1/3 of the book serves as a good introduction to MPEG. All of the concepts and terminology definitions, can be found on the web, but it will take you days to find it all. This book is good if you want to save time looking thru useless web pages that may or may not be correct.
Worth the money? Depends on how valuable your time is.
The first 2/3's is mostly academic principles of sampling/transforms/compression. Engineering text book stuff.
Also, the book is very rough around the edges. Looks like a collection of stuff from different sources. The book jumps all over the place, and leaves things open ended at times.
Builds on scientific principles, includes audio.......2003-12-25
Many video compression books start with a particular specification and then provide background to justify the decisions made in defining the specification. This book approaches video compression starting from scientific principles and building on those towards describing the decisions made in digital compression standards. It describes the history of common analog video formats and proceeds to a solid overview of the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 digital video compression formats.
Many video compression books completely disregard or gloss over audio. This one includes audio compression with the same complete treatment given to video. The book covers MPEG layer 1-3 audio, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC, and Dolby AC-3.
This book is complete, has no obvious typos, is logically organized, and contains many useful diagrams.
Disappointing coverage of key topics.......2002-02-27
This book covers a broad range of topics, some relevant to video and audio coding, some not (e.g. digital filters, Fourier transform, phase locked loop !). Key topics such as motion estimation and compensation are not clearly described. The information on the MPEG standards is disappointing, by my reckoning less than 1/3 of the book actually deals with MPEG. There is no mention of MP4 profiles/levels or MP4 systems.

Featuring OLD HDTV!.......2000-05-18
The 1992 approach of DTV in this title is now out of date. I know it is very difficult to catch up a very variable technology, but, after the Grand Alliance, we need another edition of this book, or maybe a new appendix, featuring the new developments on Digital Television. The rest of the book is of course, a bible on the subject. Almost every topic of TV engineering is covered here, execept maybe for audio for television, barely bordered. We can not even find Stereo TV or mutichannel audio for TV. They should be approached in the upcoming edition.
