That happened mainly due to the great coding efficiency of H.264. Compared to MPEG-2, the previous dominant standard, the H.264 compression ratio is about twice as higher for the same video quality. That makes H.264 ideal for a numerous of applications, such as video broadcasting, video streaming and video conferencing. However, the H.264 efficiency is achieved at the expense of the codec¢s complexity. H.264 complexity is about four times that of MPEG-2. As a consequence, many ... toggle 5 keywords
