- 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 WMV file is a video file based on the Microsoft Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container format and compressed with Windows Media compression. It contains video encoded with one of Microsoft's Windows Media Video (WMV) proprietary codecs and is similar to an .ASF file.
