Static formats
Bitmap image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, MPEG-2 I-Fames)
MPEG-2 Video "drips“
MPEG-1 Audio: The format for audio clips.
Text: character set for European languages. Other languages optional.
Notes:
Bitmap image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, MPEG-2 I-Fames): Commonly used image formats are supported. However, the standard takes the dangerous approach of requiring any pixel scaling, colour space or gamma settings in an image file to be ignored. This could result in distortion of some images and may be illegal under moral rights provisions of copyright law. MPEG-2 Video "drips": The drip feed mode allows an application progressively to feed the MPEG-2 video decoder with chunks of an MPEG-2 video stream. This appears an unnecessary and complex addition to the standard. MPEG-1 Audio: The format for audio clips. Text:MHP devices are required to display and accept the character set commonly used for European languages. It could be assumed that devices for worldwide use can use Unicode, to support other languages, but this is not required by the standard.
