The Video Revolution-You Tube, Google and Yahoo

When video is hosted on the internet, it has to be compressed and converted for the player you wish to view the video. It is similar to television broadcasting where the video signal is converted to a wave and transmitted over the airwaves to a television set tuned into the same frequency to receive it.

The internet is similar in that we have to have a player that can interpret the signal and play it on our computer screen. H.264, the latest and greatest MPEG 4 compression and encoding features a state-of-the-art video encoding codec called H.264, which delivers stunning quality at remarkably low data rates. H.264 is part of the MPEG-4 standard (MPEG-4 Part 10), this amazing technology gives you excellent picture quality on the internet from small video files using the Quicktime player. My confidence in Apple has grown as the result of H.264.

Huge Quality, very little video Files in Quicktime

H.264 incorporates smooth video compression to provide incredible crisp, clear video quality from the smallest amount of video data. This means you see crisp, clear video in much smaller files, saving you bandwidth and storage costs. Plus, at Primeau Productions Inc, we use H.264 to compress video files for emailing approval purposes. Yes, they look that good!!!

H.264 delivers the same quality as MPEG-2 (which is DVD compression and formatting) at a third to half the data rate and up to four times the frame size of MPEG-4 Part 2. H.264 is truly a part of the video revolution.

What is the Potential?

H.264 achieves the best-ever compression efficiency for a broad range of applications, such as broadcast, DVD, video conferencing, video-on-demand, streaming and multimedia messaging as well as basic emailing. Imagine recording a video message with your video conferencing camera and emailing it to your firend or work associate?

I am getting ready to record a video message to promote an upcoming speaking engagement. H.264 delivers excellent quality across a wide operating range, from 3G to HD and everything in between. Whether you need high-quality video for your mobile phone, iChat, Internet, broadcast or satellite delivery, H.264 provides a solution for all video applications. Look out Windows Media!!

What about HD?

The impressive efficiency of H.264 makes state-of-the-art video more accessible to more people, enabling you to experience the full quality of HD video on today's computers. With H.264, an Apple Cinema HD Display and an Intel-based Mac, you can turn your home office into a home theater, complete with gorgeous HD video playback.
