H.264

This site uses QuickTime 7 featuring the state-of-the-art video codec H.264

H.264 in QuickTime 7 delivers stunning quality at remarkably low data rates. Ratified as part of the MPEG-4 standard (MPEG-4 Part 10), this ultra-efficient technology gives you excellent results across a broad range of bandwidths, from 3G for mobile devices to iChat AV for video conferencing to HD for broadcast and DVD.

Massive Quality, Minimal Files
H.264 uses the latest innovations in video compression technology to provide incredible video quality from the smallest amount of video data. This means you see crisp, clear video in much smaller files, saving you bandwidth and storage costs over previous generations of video codecs. H.264 delivers the same quality as MPEG-2 at a third to half the data rate and up to four times the frame size of MPEG-4 Part 2 at the same data rate. H.264 is truly a sight to behold.

Built into QuickTime 7
Because H.264 is now an integral part of the QuickTime 7 architecture in Tiger, QuickTime-based applications — including iChat AV, Final Cut Pro HD and a litany of third-party applications — can take full advantage of this incredible new video codec.

H.264 in QuickTime 7 for Tiger
implements a set of advanced technologies and patent-pending techniques to create pristine video at low data rates. The H.264 encoder features:

*     Intelligent multi-pass encoding for the best possible results at the desired bit rate with the optimal number of compression passes.
*     Time-saving single-pass encoding for creating draft encodes, meeting impending deadlines and live encoding with QuickTime Broadcaster.
*     Peak-constrained VBR options for limited data-rate scenarios such as streaming and CD/DVD playback.
*     Advanced frame reordering (B-frame) support to more efficiently represent movie data.
*     4x4 integer transform for reducing traditional blocking and ringing artifacts, especially in areas of fine detail.
*     Improved intraframe prediction for more efficient compression of details and gradients in high-motion video.
*     Increased precision in motion estimation for crisp reconstruction of objects in motion.
*     Flexible block sizes in motion estimation for more efficient encoding of complicated motion in areas of fine detail.
*     Adaptively tuned in-loop deblocking filter for eliminating blocking artifacts, resulting in a smooth, clean image.
