A common designation for the H.264 video standard, which uses a family of compression techniques titled Advanced Video Coding (AVC). Also called "H.264/MPEG-4," "H.264/MPEG-4 AVC" and "MPEG-4/AVC." ...

This paper presents a motion compensation soft IP for H.264/AVC decoding based on the MoCHA architecture. The IP was designed in VHDL and validated by simulation and by prototyping on a Xilinx FPGA ...

Despite its promise of improved coding efficiency over existingstandards, H.264/AVC still presentsengineering challenges. It incorporates the most significant changes andalgorithmic discontinuities in ...

One of the many characteristics of H.264/AVC that makes it difficult to understand is its use of terms similar to those used when discussing MPEG-2 — for example, “I,” “P” and “B.” An H.264 I-slice is ...

The hardware implementation of the emerging H.264/AVC video compression standard presents a number of difficult challenges when it comes to real-time encoding at HDTV rates. This paper describes an ...

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC/MPEG-4 AVC, one of the video compression standards MPEG-4, is a video compression codec that aims for 'high image quality even at low bit rates'. Since its introduction in 2003, H.264 ...

“Emerging” codecs like AV1, VP9, and HEVC are hardly newcomers to the streaming scene, and their implementation and breadth of industry support—particularly AV1’s—has grown by leaps and bounds. Yet ...

Some think license terms for the popular video encoding technology mean Apple's Final Cut Pro should be called Final Cut Hobbyist. Not so fast. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

The results and an extensive analysis of the formal subjective verification tests of the H.265/HEVC video compression standard are published in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video ...

Last week Netflix debuted offline viewing mode, something that subscribers have been wanting for a long time. With the offline mode, users were allowed to download shows and movies directly to their ...
