MPEG-1, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group phase 1, is a standard for lossy compression of audio and video data. It was developed in the late 1980s and published in 1993. MPEG-1 was primarily designed to compress video and audio for storage and transmission in a digital format, enabling quality playback on devices with limited storage and bandwidth at the time.
