About formats

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video compression format in which each frame is independently compressed as a separate JPEG image. Unlike interframe codecs that exploit temporal redundancy between successive frames, MJPEG treats every frame as a standalone photograph, applying the discrete cosine transform compression familiar from still image JPEG encoding. This approach dates back to 1992, coinciding with the establishment of the JPEG standard itself, and was widely adopted as one of the earliest practical methods for compressing digital video. The intraframe-only nature of MJPEG carries several practical benefits: any frame can be accessed and edited independently without decoding neighboring frames, making it exceptionally well-suited for video editing and applications requiring frame-accurate random access. MJPEG is commonly used in IP cameras, security surveillance systems, medical imaging, and industrial machine vision, where individual frame integrity and low processing latency outweigh the higher bandwidth requirements compared to modern interframe codecs. The format achieves typical compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 while maintaining good visual quality, though at significantly higher bit rates than temporal compression methods for equivalent quality. MJPEG streams can be delivered over HTTP, making them straightforward to implement in web-based monitoring applications, and the simplicity of the codec ensures reliable decoding even on resource-constrained embedded hardware.
Initial release: 1992
IMA ADPCM (Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation) is a compact audio coding standard published by the Interactive Multimedia Association in 1992, addressing the need for a lightweight, royalty-free compression scheme suitable for early multimedia PCs and embedded devices. The algorithm encodes each sample as a 4-bit nibble representing the quantized difference from the previous sample, while an adaptive step-size table adjusts dynamically to track signal amplitude — delivering a fixed 4:1 compression ratio over 16-bit PCM. Decoding requires only an integer multiply-add per sample and a small lookup table, so even modest 1990s CPUs could decompress in real time without dedicated DSP. The format became deeply embedded in the multimedia landscape: Microsoft adopted it as a standard ACM codec for WAV files, game engines relied on it for sound effects, and telephony equipment used it for voice storage. Its advantages are enduring: predictable 4:1 size reduction simplifies buffer allocation in constrained environments, the decode path runs on 8-bit microcontrollers, and the open specification made IMA ADPCM one of the most broadly implemented audio codecs in computing history.
