H.264
(redirected from MPEG-4 part 10)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
H.264
An ITU standard for compressing video based on MPEG-4 that is popular, especially for high-definition video such as Blu-ray. Taking advantage of today's high-speed chips, H.264 delivers MPEG-4 quality with a frame size up to four times greater. It can also provide MPEG-2 quality at a reduced data rate, requiring as little as one third the original bandwidth.

Formerly known as "H.26L" by the ITU, H.264 is also known as "MPEG-4 Part 10" by the ISO MPEG group, which jointly developed the codec.

Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC)
The H.264 enhancements over earlier MPEG modes and the ITU H.263 standard are achieved using a large number of techniques dubbed "Advanced Video Coding" (AVC). Compression is provided in several profiles from Baseline for low-end applications to High Profile for HD material. See SVC, H.263, H.323, MPEG and codec.
(video, standard)H.264 - (Or Advanced Video Coding, AVC) A low bit rate visual communication standard used in video conferencing. H.264 was developed by MPEG and ITU-T VCEG to replace H.263.

If at all possible, purchase an MPEG-4 Part 10 Codec.
MediaPOINTE's new Digital Media Decoder (DMD) 200 and Digital Video Player (DVP) 200 support MPEG-4 part 10 and play content originating from MediaPOINTE's new Digital Network Streamer (DNS) 210e, also announced today, or its Digital Media Recorder (DMR) 210e.
For example, the software can encode into MPEG-4 Part 10 or 3GPP formats, among others.
