What is MPEG-2?
MPEG-2 is a standard for "Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information".

MPEG-2 Competitor Technologies
MPEG-4
MPEG-4 is a later video compression standard that offers improved compression efficiency and features compared to MPEG-2, making it a direct competitor.
HEVC
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) is a more modern video compression standard that provides significantly better compression performance than MPEG-2, making it a strong competitor.
J2K
JPEG 2000 (J2K) could compete in specific areas, as an alternative intraframe compression method.
H.264
H.264/AVC is a more efficient video compression standard than MPEG-2 and is widely used, making it a direct competitor.
H.264/AVC
H.264/AVC offers improved compression efficiency compared to MPEG-2 and is thus a competitor.
H264
H.264 offers improved compression efficiency compared to MPEG-2 and is thus a competitor.
H.265
H.265 (HEVC) is a more advanced video compression standard that offers better compression efficiency than MPEG-2, so it competes directly.
MPEG-2 Complementary Technologies
Dolby Digital Plus
