Introduction

Congratulations!

For years, storing digital video footage has been a big challenge because of the large

amount of disk space required. Various compression methods have been created to

reduce the space requirements, but often at the expense of quality. Now there is H.264 -

the next generation in video compression which offers highest compression in best qual-

ity!

H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) - also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 - is poised to be

a major video standard because it can replace several popular formats while offering sig-

nificant advantages over them. It contains advanced compression, i.e. it includes a high

rate-distortion efficiency which can result in significant bitrate savings over MPEG-2. The

network friendliness is based on a network abstraction layer designed for highly efficient

transmission of header data. The available H.264 profiles for a wide variety of applica-

tions are ranging from video telephony to high-end broadcasting and storage.

The MPEG format (developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group ) offers an excellent

method of compressing video and audio data, because it can achieve significant reduc-

tions in file sizes while retaining quality.
