About H264 files
H.264 is a popular video compression format developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It is widely used for high-definition video streaming, broadcast TV, and Blu-ray Discs. H.264 is a lossy compression format, meaning that some of the video data is lost during the encoding process. This can result in a lower quality video, but it also results in smaller file sizes, which can be beneficial for streaming and downloading.
H.264 files can be converted to other formats using software such as Handbrake, WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro, and various tools. These programs can convert H.264 files to a variety of formats, including MP4, AVI, and WMV. It is important to consider the quality of the video when converting, as some programs may reduce the quality of the video in order to achieve a smaller file size.
Conversion of H.264 files can be challenging due to the complexity of the encoding process and the large amount of data that needs to be processed. Additionally, H.264 files can be difficult to edit, as they are compressed and may not be compatible with certain editing programs. For these reasons, it is often easier and more efficient to use an online service such as Convert.Guru to convert H.264 files.
The H264 Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best H264 converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
