Wiki does not say much about DTMB and ISDB and there is little info regarding audio codecs/bit rates...

If wiki says nothing then it's because some information is protected by copyright and possibly NDAs. If the info was meant to be public, then the public has always the possibility of buying the standards. Therefore neither google nor other search engines will reveal you these.

I am working on a project regarding Digital Television (DTV)

I have found from

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Digital_broadcast_standards.svg

that DVB, ATSC, ISDB and DTMB are the four main standards for Digital TV replacing PAL, NTSC and SECAM for Analog TV.

BTW, Germany uses DVB :)

Info/details regarding DVB and ATSC is not so difficult to find, however, there is very little info regarding ISDB and DTMB :confused:

All I need to know:

1. Video/Audio Codecs acceptable as per the given standard
2. Maximum acceptable Profile/Level of each codec used
3. Maximum Bit Rate acceptable for each codec

DVB is common in Europe, ATSC in USA.

If the informations you want were meant to be public, you can buy them (maybe they are free, like ECMA) from their owners. I believe you understand Chinese.
