The MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) is a non-profit consortium dedicated to furthering the adoption of MPEG standards, such as MPEG-4, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, MPEG-7, and MPEG-21. The forum engages in promoting these standards, developing certification programs, organizing educational events, and collaborating on new de facto MPEG standards. MPEGIF has played a significant role in facilitating the widespread adoption of MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 as the industry’s standard video compression technology.
