Media Oriented Systems Transport

most significant bit

motion compensation

Interframe coding that (a) is used to compress motion of video images and (b) uses an algorithm to examine a sequence of image frames to measure the difference from frame to frame in order to send motion vector information.

motion video

In video systems, temporally varying visual imagery intended to communicate or to convey movement or change.

motion-related artifacts

Distortion of motion video potentially observable by the viewer. In some instances, the distortion becomes more observable with increased motion. The distortion may appear as smearing, block distortion, jerkiness, or other impairments. [T1.80
