MPEG-1 to Blackberry: Convert MPEG-1(MPEG-1 Video) video to Blackberry with River Past Crazi Video

What is MPEG-1?

The first MPEG format for compressed video, optimised for CD-ROM. MPEG-1 was designed for the transmission rates of about 1.5 Mbps achievable with Video-CD and CD-i. Its compression algorithms allow better than VHS quality video and almost CD quality audio to be compressed onto and streamed off a single speed (1x) CD-ROM drive. MPEG encoding can introduce blockiness, colour bleed and shimmering effects on video and lack of detail and quantisation effects on audio. The official name of MPEG-1 is International Standard IS-11172.

MPEG.ORG is an excellent source for additional information on MPEG format and usage.
