3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of MPEG-2, but lacks technical depth, January 16, 2000
The books provides a reasonable overview of technical principles associated with MPEG-2, but it lacks technical depth. The treatment of audio compressions (an essential component of MPEG) is very terse.

4.0 out of 5 stars good intro, May 16, 2000
By A Customer
gives a good intro to basic foundations of algo's behind MPEG. Just enough material to give beginners a good handle on important topics such as (i)DCT, etc
