MPEG

MPEG-TS or TS and MPEG-PS or PS are digital container format.

I-picture: intra-coded picture that does not need additional information to be decoded

P-picture: picture predicted from an earlier I-picture or P-picture

B-picture: picture bidirectionally predicted from earlier and/or later I-picture or P-pictures

MPEG-1 Audio layer 1: audio bit stream

MPEG-1 Audio layer 2: audio bit stream

MPEG-1 Audio layer 3: audio bit stream

MPEG-2 BC (Backward compatible)

MPEG-2 AAC

MPEG-4 Audio

AC-3

MPEG-1

MPEG-2

MPEG-7/MXF: metadata

MPEG-21



Elementary Stream	ES	Bitstream raw output of a video or audio encoder
Packetized Elementary Stream	PES	Carry ES with a header that contains PTS, DTS
Program Stream	PS	For error-free medium (e.g. optical and hard disks) Variable-length PES 1 video PES + n audio PES Common Clock
Transport Stream	TS	For transmission and digital broadcasting PES packet: fixed-sized 184 bytes TS packet: fixed-sized 188 bytes TS packet header: 4 bytes added to the PES packet (PID) Multiple PS can be multiplexed with different clocks (PCR) Metadata: PAT, PMT
Single Program Transport Stream	SPTS
Program Association Table	PAT	Lists every programs in the TS Each entry points to a PMT PID=0
Program Map Table	PMT	Each entry lists for each program the list of ES
Program Identifier Code	PID	Packets in the same ES all have the same PID TS Packet header
Program Clock Reference	PCR	27MHz resolution Bitstream timing PCR for each program in a TS
System Clock Reference	SCR	27MHz resolution Bitstream timing
Presentation Timestamp	PTS	Use to achieve synchronization of separate ES 90KHz resolution In the PES header
	DTS
