Abstract :
MPEG standards, instrumental in shaping the multimedia landscape since the early 1990´s, are taking another step forward with MPEG-A, which specifies multimedia application formats. MAFs are essentially superformats that combine selected technology components from MPEG (and other) standards to provide greater application interoperability, which helps satisfy users´ growing need for better-integrated multimedia solutions.
