MPEG News Archive

This blog post provides a list of recent MPEG news reports which I'm compiling after every MPEG meeting I'm attending. I thought it's a good idea, specifically because since June 2012 SIGMM records decided to publish them also (see also digital library: ACM SIGMultimedia Records). As of October 2013, these reports are also available at the bitmovin tech blog.

In case you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to comment or contact me directly.
