    JPEG is a large consortium (sorry, but I don't know what it stands for).

JPEG is a joint committee of the ISO and CCITT. It includes
representatives from IBM, DEC, NEC and C-Cube among others.

MPEG is a similar committee for motion video.  I don't think an MPEG
standard has been announced yet.

Acronym translation.

	JPEG: 	Joint Photographic Experts Group
	MPEG:	Motion Picture Experts Group
	ISO:	International Standards Organization
	CCITT:	Consultative Committee International Telegraph and Telephone
