MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC (H.264) Video Encoding
Nick Fielibert and Randy Munich
Abstract
The advent of H.264 (MPEG-4 part 10) video encoding technology
has been met with great enthusiasm in the video industry. H.264 has video
quality similar to that of MPEG-2, but is more economical with its use
of bandwidth. Being less expensive to distribute, H.264 is a natural choice
for broadcasters who are trying to find cost effective ways of distributing
High Definition Television (HDTV) channels and reducing the cost of carrying
conventional Standard Definition channels. In fact, the use of bandwidth
has been reduced to the point that it has captured the interest of telephone
and data services providers, whose bandwidth limited link to the subscriber
had previously not allowed for delivery of bandwidth thirsty television
services. H.264 has the potential to revolutionize the industry as it
eases the bandwidth burden of service delivery and opens the service provider
market to new players.
