H.264
H.264, also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is a widely used standard for compressing digital video.
H.264 is a video compression standard developed jointly by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), and first approved in 2003. It is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding). The format is widely used for Blu-ray discs, online video streaming, video conferencing and digital broadcasting, and most devices and software can encode and play it.
Its successor, HEVC (H.265), offers higher compression efficiency.
