- 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.
- The XWD (X Windows Dump) image file format is a native graphic format associated with the X Window System, which is a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments. An XWD file is essentially a dump or snapshot of what is being displayed on a screen or part of it at a given moment. It stores image data in an uncompressed form, including the header information that contains details about the image's size, color, and format.
