MPEG

Hey there kiddo! Do you ever watch videos on the computer or TV? Have you ever heard of MPEG? MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, and it is a way to compress video and audio files so that they take up less space on your computer or other devices.

Think of it like packing your suitcase for a trip. You want to bring all your favorite toys and clothes, but you only have one small suitcase. So, you need to fold everything neatly and tightly to fit it all in.

MPEG does the same thing with video and audio files. It takes out some details and compresses the file so that it can fit on your computer, phone or other devices. This also helps to make it easier to stream videos online without waiting for the whole thing to download first.

There are different types of MPEG, like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, each with different levels of compression and quality. The higher the quality you want, the more space the file will take up. But the trade-off is that the higher quality video also looks better.

So, next time you watch a video on your computer or TV, remember that the reason you can watch it easily is because of MPEG!
