The MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) was a non-profit consortium dedicated to "further the adoption of MPEG Standards, by establishing them as well accepted and widely used standards among creators of content, developers, manufacturers, providers of services, and end users". It was formed in 2000 and dissolved in 2012 after H.264 became the de facto video compression standard.[1]

The group was involved in many tasks, which included promotion of MPEG standards (particularly MPEG-4, MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21); developing MPEG certification for products; organizing educational events; and developing new MPEG standards.
MPEGIF played a role in facilitating the widespread adoption and deployment of MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 as the industry's standard video compression technology.[citation needed] MPEGIF aimed to be a single point of information on technology, products and services for these standards, offered interoperability testing, a conformance program, marketing activities and supported over 50 international trade shows and conferences per year.
In June 2012, the MPEG Industry Forum officially "declared victory" and voted to close its operation and merge its remaining assets with that of the Open IPTV Forum.[1]
