- Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
I am an MPEG member and have actively participated MPEG standardization activities during 2012-2016. - What do you think makes MPEG special?
MPEG has great reputation for its media standards, particularly on codecs and streaming formats/protocols. MPEG standards such as H.264/AVC and DASH have been such great success with broad industry adoption. - What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
I’d say media codecs (e.g., H.264/AVC) for compression and media formats/protocols (e.g., DASH) for streaming/storage have made the biggest industry impact in terms of adoption and deployment. - Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
Yes, particularly on the applied research side. MPEG participation can be very useful for media compression / systems researchers to drive the industry acceptance of their ideas through adoption in MPEG standards. - Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
In overall, I had great experience at MPEG and contributed as editor of several specifications and amendments. I had to discontinue my participation since 2016 due to the need to focus on 3GPP/5G standardization, but I still closely follow MPEG’s work. - Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
Yes, particularly those ones that have been adopted by the industry and deployed broadly, i.e., in the codecs and systems areas. - Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
Hard to give a yes/no answer on this, since I believe what standard is the right choice should be addressed on a case-by-case basis depending on the particular market segment as well as other factors. - What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
Continue to deliver world class media standards to address the future interoperability needs of the industry.
