MPEG-1 Audio (domestic standardization = JIS)
MPEG-2 Audio, MPEG-2 AAC
MPEG-4 SNHC Audio
MPEG-21 IPMP
MPEG-V (not much)
MPEG-G (currently working on)
What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
MPEG-2 System, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-2 AAC, AVC, HEVC, MMT, DASH
Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
Systems standardization is more for just creating common platform for development.
Audio, Video compression – yes.
Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
I am always considering how and where I should contribute.
I think I am not pessimist or optimist about standardization.
But there are many productive people in MPEG and I can always find some area it is good to contribute.
Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
I do not think I am position to answer by myself.
But I periodically ask users of MPEG about their satisfaction.
And I get positive answer for all major MPEG standards.
Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
As you know, more than 50% of the standard fail to be adopted. But this does not mean MPEG is poor to be adopted in general. All other standards or private products are very competitive.
What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
I think MPEG has many roles in the future.
