It typically outperforms all existing standards by a factor of three to four especially in comparison to MPEG-2.

H264 is a high quality video compression algorithm suited for all types of applications with different ranges of bit rates. The compressed video data can be stored inside AVI, OGG or ISO Base files with the option of saving the file with or without the audio data.

NOTE: If you are using the encoder with a third-party software package, refer to your softwares documentation for information on how to access the encoders property page(s). If you do not have an application for converting multimedia files, you can download M2Convert Pro from http://www.M2Convert.com.

The compression options for the Encoder can be set manually through the encoder property page. The compression options can also be set programmatically using the filter interface.
