Recently, I have got interested in mpeg-2 standard. And it suddenly occurred to me that i want to make a mpeg-2 decoder. I'm already studying mpeg system part that covers stream-packaging mechanism like transport stream or program stream. But I also want to know the structures of video and audio elementary stream. I actually mean to tell you that i really want to make my own mpeg-2 decoder.

Although there's a lot of great books regarding mpeg-2 system part, I couldn't find any of useful books that covers the structures of elementary streams and how you can process them properly. All i found was a book that explains how the video is encoded and all kind of encoding-technology stuff.

Would you guys suggest me a useful book to which i can actually refer when i'm processing a mpeg-2 file? hope you guys are willing to do it.

The 3rd link is the link to the MPEG-2 standard, this is the bible for MPEG-2 codec development. That will give you all the information needed to process a MPEG-2 file.
