Summary: Confused and over-detailed
Review: Unfortunately I bought this book after reading the first three reviews. I think the later reviews are closer to the mark.The book is confusing and overly detailed with no unifying thread. I bought the standard, and reading it after this book was like a breath of fresh air.

Summary: wasting time books
Review: With many years of MPEG experience, I still found the book boring. Simple concepts become chaos from author's poor sentences. Almost all graphs are used for confusing the reader. I could hardly finish reading. Frankly, all video gurus in our company dislike the book. If you really want to learn MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, go directly to the standards. They are more clearly written.
