- Description
- H.264 is a video compression standard that is commonly used for high-definition video. It is the most widely used format for Blu-ray discs, HD DVDs, and many other types of high-definition video. An H.264 file is a video file that has been encoded using this standard. These files are often saved with the .MP4 file extension. H.264 video is also commonly used in AVCHD camcorders and HDTV.
- AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file format designed for recording and playing back high definition video. It is commonly used in digital camcorders and cameras for capturing HD footage. AVCHD leverages the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec, which efficiently reduces file sizes while preserving high-quality video resolution, and supports both Dolby AC-3 and linear PCM audio codecs for high-quality sound.
