ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS OF H.264 VIDEO CODING STANDARD

This paper investigates the effects of many parameters, which are crucial for performance of H.264 video coder .H.264 is the latest international video coding standard. It was jointly developed by the video coding expert group (VCEG) of the ITU-T and moving picture expert group (MPEG) of ISO/IEC. The main goals of the H.264 standar-dization effort have been enhanced compression perfor-mance. H.264 has achieved a significant improvement in rate distortion efficiency relative to existing standards. It uses state of the art coding tools and provide enhanced cod-ing efficiency for a wide range of applications including video telephony , video conferencing , streaming video , digital video authority , digital cinema and many others.
