The JPEG 2000 Standard
A presentation by Michael J. Gormish & Michael W. Marcellin, which was given at the DCC in 2000. Lots of information and figures, but as always, the slides without the talk leaves one wanting more.

A paper by Michael W. Marcellin, Michael J. Gormish, Ali Bilgin, Martin P. Boliek that was published in the 2000 Proceedings of the DCC. Good information of only moderate complexity in an academic format.

This is the home page for the IETF group that reviews RTP packetization standards. Links on this page for all the drafts you can imagine for sending video and audio over RTP streams.
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/avt-charter.htmlRFC 2190 - RTP Payload Format for H.263 Video Streams
The IETF standard for delivering H.263 in RTP packet streams.

RFC 2429 - RTP Payload Format for H.263+ Video Streams
The second generation fo H.263 is working on supplanting the original. Naturally, we need a standard for sending H.263v2 packets over RTP streams.
