MPEG

To use MPEG video files, you need a personal computer with sufficient processor speed, internal memory, and hard disk space to handle and play the typically large MPEG file (which has a file name suffix of .mpg). You also need an MPEG viewer or client software that plays MPEG files. (Note that .mp3 file suffixes indicate MP3 (MPEG-1 audio layer-3) files, not MPEG-3 standard files.) You can download shareware or commercial MPEG players from a number of sites on the Web.

Read more about MPEG: - One shareware MPEG player that we have used is Net Toob at Digital Bitcasting Corporation. - You can find out where to download a viewer and a great deal of other information at the MPEG Pointers and Resources home page. - For additional information, see About MPEG on the official MPEG Committee Web site. - An illustrated Overview of the MPEG-4 Version 1 Standard is available.
