What is AVC?

AVC, also known as H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, is a video compression standard widely used for recording, distribution, and streaming video content. It's commonly used in Blu-ray discs, online video platforms (like YouTube and Vimeo), and video conferencing. AVC achieves high compression rates, allowing for smaller file sizes and efficient transmission over networks, while maintaining good video quality.
