H.264 Advanced Settings

H.264 - H.264, or AVC, for Advanced Video Coding, is a digital video codec standard which is noted for achieving very high data compression. It was written by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard that would be capable of providing good video quality at bit rate that are substantially lower (e.g., half or less) than what previous standards would need (e.g., relative to MPEG-2, H.263, or DivX and Xvid).

The following tabs of the codec settings window are available:

• Bitrate - include Encoding type, Level, Average bitrate/Quantizer, Stat file.

• Rate Control settings - include Bitrate, Quantization Limits, Scene cuts.

• MBs and Frames settings - include Partitions, B-Frames.

• More settings - include Motion Estimation, Miscellaneous options.
