MP2 Format
MP2/MPEG2 is a standard for "the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information".It describes a combination of lossy video compression and lossy audio data compressionmethods which permit storage and transmission of movies using currently available storage media and transmission bandwidth.
MP2 files usually have an extension of .mp2 but sometimes .mpa is used instead. And MP2 has largely been superseded by MP3(MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) for file sharing and CD ripping, but it remains a dominant standard for audio broadcasting in Europe as part of the DAB digital radio and DVB digital television standards.
