Apart from MPEG, there are also proprietary methods based on JPEG
all of which have that in common that the video material is only DCT
coded and not interframe coded. Both DV and MiniDV are such methods.
MiniDV has become widely used in the home video camera field and has
revolutionized this field with respect to the picture quality. The data rate is
3.6 Mbyte/s total or 25 Mbit/s video data rate. The picture size is 720 x
576 pixels, the same as in MPEG-2, with 25 frames per second. MiniDV
can be edited at any point since it virtually only consists of frames compa-
rable to I frames. DVCPro is the big brother to MiniDV. DVCPro is a stu-
dio standard and supports video data rates of 25 and 50 Mbit/s. The 25
Mbit/s data rates corresponds to the MiniDV format. DVCPro and MiniDV
are special variants of Motion JPEG. In contrast to MPEG, no quantizer
tables are transmitted, neither are quantizer scale factors varied from mac-
roblock to macroblock. Instead, a set of quantizing tables is provided lo-
