The April 1991 Communications of the ACM contains Gregory K. Wallace, The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard and Didier Le Gall, MPEG: A Video Compression Standard for Multimedia Applications After a very cursory look, these seem to be decent technical introductions to the JPEG and MPEG compression algorithms. (They are not complete enough for an implementation.) These articles are *much* more readily available than the SPIE proceedings articles that were formerly the best references. The same issue contains a bunch of other articles on digital video and multimedia applications. -- tom lane Internet: tgl@cs.cmu.edu BITNET: tgl%cs.cmu.edu@cmuccvma
