Looking for some general up-to-date MPEG-4 info

[Prettz]

I'm looking for some general info on the whole MPEG-4 standard as it currently exists. Specifically I need some kind of document talks about all the MPEG-4 profiles and levels, i.e. High-Latency Profile, Simple Profile, Adv. Simple Profile, ect. (I've probably already found enough specifically about Adv. Video Coding Profile). Also I'm trying to find out about how H.263, H.263++, MPEG-4 ASP, and H.264 are related. I haven't been able to find really any details about H.263, its history, and how it fits into MPEG-4, which I would like to know.

Obviously I've already searched all through the forums (and on Google) and have found a few good links, but still not everything that I'm looking for. Does anyone know any good links that describe all this stuff?


edit: I think I've finally found a few sites that have what I need. However, any comments or links by anyone are still welcome.

MpegIF (http://www.mpegif.com/tutorials.php) has a lot of good resources, as does Chiariglione(chair of MPEG)'s site (http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/working_documents.htm#MPEG-4).

Yes, I was about to post this link http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/standards/mpeg-4/mpeg-4.htm because it has so much information. I found that link through this very interesting looking site: http://datacompression.info/Standards.shtml
http://www.vcodex.fsnet.co.uk/h264_overview.pdf also has a few pieces of information I didn't see anywhere else.


As far as general information, the H.264 thread had these links:
