Abstract
One of the most significant progresses of multimedia research is video 
coding and transmission. In the last two decades, many theories 
proposed have been adopted in current standards. Recent developments 
in multimedia technology and communication infrastructure contribute 
to the emergence of the field of video coding. Video coding standards, 
a form of multimedia communications, are designed for the purposes of 
storage and transmission. Advanced video coding development and 
standardization, for instance, have attracted many attentions over the 
past decade. This talk first introduces the history of the development 
of video coding standards. Next, the second part presents the newest 
accomplishments, exchanges latest experiences, and explores future 
directions in this important and evolving field. This talk then 
concludes with research prospectus in multimedia communication 
related fields.
