MPEG - (Motion Picture Experts Group) - Digital video and audio compression standards and file formats formulated by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an international group of industry experts who's aim was to standardize compressed moving pictures and audio. They first met as a group in 1988. (Reference.)

DVB-S2 incorporates MPEG video compression technology.  (Note - MPEG is a video & audio compression standard while DVB-S is a data transmission standard.) The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group of ISO/IEC charged with the development of video and audio encoding standards.
