We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MPEG4",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Application processor boosts mobile multimedia from
Vimicro International Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vinno-III-Win has a QVGA touch screen, a 3Mpixel camera, MPEG4/H.263 video, WMA and MP3 playback and recording, Bluetooth and an FM radio".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Media player handles multiple displays from
Apollo Display Technologies: "Apollo's new ArtistaMedia is a single-board network media player and TFT controller that allows an unlimited number of displays to be addressed and updated from a single server".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Texas Instruments (April 2006-)
concerning its MSP430 processor
- take a look at DSPs help reduce workplace risk
which says: "DriveCam's event recorder and peripherals are governed by multiple TI processors, including the ultra-low-power MSP430 processor and a multimedia-optimised DSP".
Take a look also at the news release from Kingston Technology, Small-format SD cards boost storage to 4Gbyte,
as well as Image sensors chosen for IP cameras from OmniVision,
and FPGAs power encoder solution from Xilinx.
