About H.264
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bitrates.
An H.264 video stream consists of different types of frames such as I-frames and P-frames. An I-frame is a complete image, whereas
P-frames only contain the differences from previous frames.
