MPEG or MPG is a popular format for movies distributed over the internet. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group and was established in 1988. In 1993, MPEG created MPEG-1, the initial version of MPEG video and audio compression. Both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression standards have been utilized in encoding video for over-the-air digital television broadcasts, DVDs, and home movies. Using MPEG compression, the file size of a multimedia file can be significantly reduced with little noticeable loss in quality. This makes transferring files over the internet more efficient, which helps conserve internet bandwidth.
