    H.264
    1. Up to 50% in bit rate savings: Compared to H.263v2 (H.263+) or MPEG-4 Simple Profile, H.264 permits a reduction in bit rate by up to 50% for a similar degree of encoder optimization at most bit rates. 2. High quality video: H.264 offers consistently good video quality at high and low bit rates. 3. Error resilience: H.264 provides the tools necessary to deal with packet loss in packet networks and bit errors in error-prone wireless networks. 4. Network friendliness: Through the Network Adaptation Layer, H.264 bit streams can be easily transported over different networks.
