Being the most broadly compatible audio and video container format from the lossy class of containers, the MPEG standards are supported by numerous audio and video products and software applications. The standards were designed to meet the growing need for digital storage of audio and video media. They both utilize a lossy compression to scale down VHS quality digital video and CD audio. The two formats, mpeg-1 and mpeg-2, are the result of the combined efforts of the moving picture experts group which was established in 1988. The mpeg-1 has its beginnings in the same year, with an initial release to public in 1993.

.DV file formats make use of intra-frame compression to simplify the work of video editing. Intra-frame compression is the process of taking still images and playing them one after the other. In addition, the file format is still intensive in matters of memory storage. A 5-minute video clip can take up to a gigabyte of memory.
The mpeg-1 file format extension is standardized in ISO/IEC 11172. It was extended from the H.261 and JPEG file formats and is capable of scaling down VHS video at a ratio of 26:1 and CD audio at a ratio of 6:1. The format allows for transcoding of video and associated audio to a maximum bitrate of 1.5 Mbit/second. interlaced video is supported in the second iteration of the mpeg format, mpeg-2. Video encoding is achieved using the compression standard H.262. The newer format also has added support for newer audio encoding techniques.
