- Description
- The H.264 Encoded Video File, commonly referred to by its file extension .h264, is a digital video file format that utilizes the H.264 codec. This codec, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is widely recognized for its high compression efficiency, providing high-quality video at relatively low bitrates. This makes it ideal for use in various applications, from streaming video services and Blu-ray discs to digital television broadcasts and video conferencing.
- A DDS file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format. It can store compressed and uncompressed pixel formats and is often used for texturing video game unit models. DDS files may also be used to store Windows desktop backgrounds or wallpapers.
