					AVS Workgroup, short for Audio and Video Coding Standard 
					Workgroup of China was authorized to be established by the 
					Science and Technology Department under the former Ministry 
					of Industry and Information Technology of People¡¯s Republic 
					of China in June, 2002. With the mandate of satisfying the 
					demands from the rapidly growing information industry, AVS 
					is committed to producing technical standards of high 
					quality for compression, decompression, processing, and 
					representation of digital audio and video, and thus 
					providing the digital audio-video equipments and systems 
					with high-efficient and economical coding/decoding 
					technologies. AVS can be applied in wide variety of 
					significant information sectors including high-resolution 
					digital broadcast, high-density laser-digital storage media, 
					wireless broad-band multimedia communication and internet 
					broad-band stream media.  
					AVS is one of the second generation of source 
					coding/decoding standards and own independent Chinese 
					intellectual property rights. Source coding technology 
					primarily addresses the problem of coding and compressing 
					audio& video mass data viz. initial data and original 
					sources, hence known as digital video and audio coding 
					technology, and it is the premise of the subsequent digital 
					transmission, storage and broadcast and serves as the common 
					standard for digital video& audio industry.
