The maximum video size for MPEG2 video is 1920x1152 (when using the High profile).Ī MPEG-2 encoder capable of handling all resolutions, bit rates and frame rates up to HDTV would be too expensive for many simpler applications or hardware implementations. The compression options can also be set programmatically using the ILMMPEG2Encoder interface. The compression options for the LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder can be set manually through the encoder property page. See "Supplement 42: MPEG2 Transfer Syntax" and "Supplement 137: MPEG2 Transfer Syntax" of the DICOM specification for more information on requirements of the MPEG-2 SD or HD video. The DICOM files can store MPEG-2 SD or HD video. The compressed video data can be stored inside MPEG, AVI, DICOM or Ogg files with the option of saving the file with or without the audio data. The most common applications include DVD-Videos, SVCD and digital TVs. MPEG-2 is a high quality video compression algorithm and is best suited for applications with higher bit rates or high-bandwidth usage. MPEG-2 is the newer standard and has lower compression than MPEG-1 but the quality is much better than MPEG-1. MPEG-1 compression is used in VCD (video on CD). MPEG-1 is the older standard and achieves higher compression than MPEG-2 (but at lower quality). The LEAD MPEG-2 Decoder is a DirectShow® filter for decompressing MPEG-2 video data. The LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder Filter is a DirectShow® filter for compressing video data using the MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818-2) or MPEG-1 (ISO 11172-2) standard.
