Evaluation of Emerging JVT H.264/AVC with MPEG Video

The growing demand for higher quality compression of video resulted in emerging JVTH.264/AVC standard. It has wide range of applications such videoconferencing, digital storage media, television broadcasting, Internet streaming, and real-time communication. The standard has significant improvement over all previous video compression standards. In this paper, we provide comparison of the coding performance improvement of H. 264 over MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards. Our test results show that H.264 can achieve significant coding gains over MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
