H.264 supports video compression (coding) for video-conferencing and video-telephony applications. The H.264 video codec has a very broad rang of applications that covers all forms of digital compressed video from, low bit-rate Internet streaming applications to HDTV broadcast and Digital Cinema applications with nearly lossless coding. H.264 is designed as a simple and straightforward video coding, with enhanced compression performance, and to provide a “network-friendly” video representation.
