H.264 was joint development of MPEG and VCEG which aimed at better compression than H.263 and MPEG-4 Part 2. H.264 is also known as ‘Advanced Video Coding (AVC)', ‘MPEG-4 Part 10' and ‘ITU-T Recommendation H.264'. H.264 provides approximately 50-70% more compression than earlier standards. Picustech's implementation for H.264 video encoder includes Baseline Profile.
