MPEG4 H.264 Video Compression Standard (Also Known As MPEG4 Part 10 AVC) is the Number 1 Video CODEC in the world today and has become the STANDARD Global Media Exchange Format for HIGH Quality, HIGH Resolution, SMALLEST Storage and LOWEST Network Bandwidth Streaming in the WORLD TODAY.

MPEG4 H.264 DEVELOPMENT

The International Joint Video Team (JVT) consisting of ITU-T and MPEG) was formed in December 2001 to develop a NEW MPEG4 H.264 Standard (To replace H.263) with the objective of improving Video Quality by 2/3rds, Video Resolution by 2/3rds, Decreasing Frame Size by 2/3rds and Lowering Network Bandwidth Usage also by 2/3rds.

The JVT Finalized Specification of the H.264 Standard in March 2003, ITU-T then approved the Standard as 14496-10 or MPEG4 Part 10 AVC in May 2003 and updated the standard in November 2007 with Video Scaling.

ESSENTIAL  H.264 STANDARD

H.264 has become THE ESSENTIAL Video Compression standard for Global Media Exchange and is used in new generation optical disc formats like BLU-RAY, in FULL HD CODEC's as used by DIVX, in Multimedia Internet Streaming by YouTUBE, Apple and Microsoft Media Players and by leading Security DVR Manufacturers like FOCUS for Video Compression and Network Streaming.

KEY FEATURES OF H.264

H.264 presents four major benefits to users including Higher Video resolution (Artifacts such as Blockiness and Color Bands are REMOVED), Higher Resolution Size (Now able to provide FULL HD), Lower Storage Requirements (Requires about 1/3rd HDD Storage VERSES MPEG4 SP) and Lower Network Bandwidth (Streams Live FULL HD Video over IP networks at 1/3rd Bandwidth of MPEG4 SP).
