H.261

A video compression standard developed for video teleconferencing systems. It is DCT-based and resembles MPEG to some degree. It is hoped that this will be the standard that allows a videophone from one manufacturer to “talk” to a videophone from another manufacturer, just as two different FAX machines can “talk” to each other.
