What is H.264?

H.264, also known as Advanced Video Coding (AVC), is a video compression standard. It is one of the most commonly used formats for recording, compressing, and distributing video content. H.264 is widely used in Blu-ray discs, streaming video platforms, and various other applications due to its ability to achieve good video quality at relatively low bitrates.
