- Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
Yes - What do you think makes MPEG special?
A forum for both industry and academia to develop standards for future products and services. It offers to possibility to conduct research based on standards (i.e., about the informative aspects in a standard left open for competition) and research results could also lead to standards. I think this combination makes it very special. - What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
Audio/video coding + systems support (TS+ISOBMFF, DASH) - Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
Yes (see above answer to question 2) - Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
Yes, I wrote a blog post some time ago which may fit here https://multimediacommunication.blogspot.com/2015/08/one-year-of-mpeg.html - Are you happy with MPEG standards?
Yes, specifically now as I represent both academia (University Klagenfurt) and industry (Bitmovin), it’s a perfect match for both research and product development. - Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
Yes, it offers a “toolbox” approach and allows one to choose the right tools to be used for products and services, yet offering the minimum required for interoperability. - What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
To continue leadership in the core competences of MPEG (e.g., audio/video coding + systems support), offering tools to be adopted within products and services but also other standards developing organizations (SDO) defining ’systems standards’. Additionally, I expect MPEG to evolve into other domains requiring expertise/technologies/tools in ‘compression/coding + systems support’ (i.e., beyond audio/video).
