MPEG at a glance

For many users, '.mpeg' became a generic term for digital video long before MP4 and browser-native video delivery simplified the consumer story.

NCX

NCX was defined in the 2005 DAISY and ANSI-NISO talking-book standard, then carried forward into EPUB 2 and later treated as a legacy compatibility feature once EPUB 3 introduced XHTML navigation documents.
