❓Understanding how video works is crucial for both coders and non-coders.
🎥H264 is a widely used video compression codec that powers most of the internet's video content.
💡H264 is the result of decades of work to reduce the bandwidth required for video transmission.
🕹️H264 is used in various applications, from streaming platforms to security cameras and drones.
🌐H264's efficient compression allows for high-quality video streaming even with limited bandwidth.
Who should watch this video?
—This video is essential for both coders and non-coders who want to understand how video works and the technology behind it.
What is H264?
—H264 is a video compression codec that reduces the bandwidth required for transmitting video. It's widely used in various applications and powers most of the internet's video content.
How does H264 achieve efficient compression?
—H264 uses lossy compression and entropy encoding to discard unimportant details and optimize the data. It also transforms the data into the frequency domain for efficient representation.
