1. An MPEG Optimization Software (MOPSW) for further maximizing a Video Compression Ratio (VDCR) while maintaining an output Video Image Quality (VDIQ) of an Input MPEG file (IMPEG) that is a composite video and audio source file having: an audio component file; a video component file; and a set of adjustable MPEG control parameters affecting both VDCR and VDIQ, the MOPSW comprising: an encode video component module, employing said set of adjustable MPEG control parameters being set within a pre-determined range, to compress said video component file into a further compressed video component file; wherein said pre-determined range for each of said set of adjustable MPEG control parameters is selected such that, upon multiplexing of said further compressed video component with a separate, further compressed audio component file from said audio component file, a final composite video data stream is formed having a VDCR significantly higher than that of said IMPEG while maintaining a VDIQ that is at least comparable to that of said IMPEG.
