Question

MPEG stands for:

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — B, Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG is the working group formed in 1988, under the ISO/IEC joint technical committee, to set international standards for compressing and transmitting digital audio and video — its name is literally 'Moving Picture Experts Group,' after the kind of content (moving pictures = video) it standardises.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) Swaps 'Group' for 'Guide' — MPEG is a standards-setting working GROUP of experts, not a published guide.  (c) Swaps 'Experts' for 'Effect' — the body is a group of technical experts, not a visual-effects group.  (d) Combines both wrong substitutions — neither 'Effect' nor 'Guide' is part of the real name.

Concept: MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is the ISO/IEC working group that develops international standards for compressing and packaging digital audio and video so it can be stored and transmitted efficiently. Its standards — MPEG-1 (which includes the MP3 audio format), MPEG-2 (used in DVDs and digital television broadcast), and MPEG-4 (used in most modern streaming/video files) — underpin nearly all digital video and audio in everyday use.
