| - | **H.264**, which is also known as "MPEG-4 Part-10" or "MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding" (AVC), is a digital video compression standard, which is noted for achieving very high data compression. While H.264 generally requires more [[enw:CPU|CPU]] power for playback than video encoded with the older MPEG-4(nbsp)Part(nbsp)2 standard (as used by [[general:Xvid]] or DivX), the compression efficiency is much better! That means: With H.264/AVC you can get a significantly better quality at the same file size -or- you can get the same quality at a significantly smaller file size (compared to MPEG-4(nbsp)ASP). While H.264 compresses much more efficient than MPEG-4(nbsp)Part(nbsp)2, the advantage over MPEG-2 is even greater. | + | **H.264**, which is also known as "MPEG-4 Part-10" or "MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding" (AVC), is a digital video compression standard, which is noted for achieving very high data compression.
