Hi all,
       I had posted a question a few days back, expressing that i was
intended to do a mpeg coder decoder. From the replies that i got i
have understood that it would a huge project.

I shall express my wish. We are 3 guys here, we are actually want to
explore the field of DSP (it is very vast, i am aware). Just learning
from the book would not be enough. So we decided that we must do some
project. Can any one suggest some good project that we can do which
will be usefull as well as make us good at DSP. Let it be audio video
compression or anything related to DSP.

Please let it not be too simple. We would like to do some moderate if
not too complex project.

regards
prasanna

Anyway, if you are starting, I'd recommend you start with another,
wider spreaded compression standard, like MP3 (for audio) or JPEG (for
still images) and the like... This, because you could find more
resources, references, help, etc...

Just my opinion.

Try implementing the GSM voice codec - the spec for it is available free
from ETSI.

I tend to agree with Kevin's answer - voice and audio codecs are still a
challenging project but are a better bounded task. If you get through that
and are feeling smart, JPEG or JPEG2000 would be be a good next step. Then
MPEG-2 or even MPEG-4 or H.264 if you have a year to put into it.
