- 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.
- A WMA file is an audio file saved in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) proprietary format developed by Microsoft. It contains Windows Media Audio and metadata objects such as the title, artist, album, and genre of the track. WMA files are similar to .MP3 files and primarily used for streaming music from the web.
