- 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.
- An M4A file is an audio file created in the MPEG-4 format, a multimedia container format used to store compressed audio and video data. It contains audio encoded with either the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) codec or the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC).
