- Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
Yes - What do you think makes MPEG special?
Reasonable balance between competition and co-operation. - What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
Standards which enabled a whole industry. Between the Walkman to a smartphone is a huge leap in technology. - Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
Too many competing corporate interests to “do” research. Reasonable conduit to publicize research. - Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
I tell people I have a love/hate relationship. I hate the jet lag but love the opportunity to work with people who I would never meet otherwise. - Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
Nothing is ever perfect but MPEG standards are in general good enough. - Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
Other times, they seem rather esoteric. - What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
Domain specific compression. MPEG-G might be the first.
