Owing to the considerable increase in the business sector and thus, an enormous increase in the complexity of the organisational struc
According to the report from MeFeedia, over 80%videos are using H.264 as their encoder. If the video is using HTML 5video tag, it can be played on iPad directly without any help. Ofcourse, this is not mean that you must do that or do that at present.This only means that if you do hope using the same version of videofor iPad and other ways, you do not need to re-encode you video withother encoder, you just need to use HTML 5 instead of Flash. Thisreport also points that H.264 is now used widely and really popular.A research on Jan. 2010, at that time, only 10% video was usingH.264. And the number rises to 80% after only two years.Thanks to the iPad and other device's popular,H.264 now dominates the world of video encoder. Most of the devicessuch as iPad, iPhone, etc support the H.264 hardware acceleration. AtMay, 2010, the report from MeFeeia showed that only 26% video useH.264 as video encoder.It's clear that the file which supports HTML 5is now influce the Giant more and more in video market. Such as Adobeannounced that they will no longer provide Flash Player for mobiledevice's web browser, all kinds of operation system and otherdevices. Although WebM from Google has been become open source, itdevelops really slow. A report from MeFeedia, only 2% video useGoogle's VP8 as their video encoder. That means that the Google'spurchase of On2 Technologies benefits Google nothing at all.With more and more devices support H.264, theshare of it will be higher in the future. Only in case that there isa competitor with enough competitiveness and widely used in thedevices which support hardware acceleration, H.264 will be the winnerin the war of video encoder.What is H.264?H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced VideoCoding) is a standard for video compression, and is currently one ofthe most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, anddistribution of high definition video. The final drafting work on thefirst version of the standard was completed in May 2003.H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is a block-orientedmotion-compensation-based codec standard developed by the ITU-T VideoCoding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO)/International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It was theproduct of a partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team (JVT).The ITU-T H.264 standard and the ISO/IEC MPEG-4 AVC standard(formally, ISO/IEC 14496-10 MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced VideoCoding) are jointly maintained so that they have identical technicalcontent.H.264 is perhaps best known as being one of thecodec standards for Blu-ray Discs; all Blu-ray Disc players must beable to decode H.264. It is also widely used by streaming internetsources, such as videos from Vimeo, YouTube, and the iTunes Store,web software such as the Adobe Flash Player and MicrosoftSilverlight, broadcast services for DVB and SBTVD, direct-broadcastsatellite television services, cable television services, andreal-time videoconferencing.
