- 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 PCT file is an image saved in the Macintosh PICT format, which was developed by Apple in 1984 for storing images using Apple QuickDraw technology. It contains image data in one of two formats, PICT 1, the original format that stores 8 colors, or PICT 2, a newer format that allows thousands of colors (24 and 32-bit images). PCT files support both raster and vector images.
