Motion JPEG - Advantages

Advantages

  • It is simple to implement because it uses a mature compression standard (JPG) with well-developed libraries, and it's an intraframe method of compression.
  • It tolerates rapidly changing motion in the video stream, whereas compression schemes using interframe compression can often experience unacceptable quality loss when the video content changes significantly between each frame.
  • Because the M-JPEG standard emerged from a market-adoption process rather than a standards body, it enjoys broad client support — most major web browsers and players provide native support and plug-ins are available for the rest.
  • Minimal hardware is required because it is not computationally intensive.

    “If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”

    “If we live in the Nineteenth Century, why should we not enjoy the advantages which the Nineteenth Century offers? Why should our life be in any respect provincial?”
