MainConcept is proud to announce the immediate availability of our H.264 Encoder Preview Version for Microsoft® Windows®! Although not yet optimized for speed, this free demo will enable you to sample the quality of our newest codec. H.264 AVC (Advanced Video Coding), also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, is an exciting new standard which offers many advantages and has the potential to replace existing standards. Our H.264 Encoder Preview Version has an easy interface based on our current standalone MPEG Encoder, making it easy for you to explore the capabilities of this new format.
H.264 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) - also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 - is poised to be a major video standard because it can replace several popular formats while offering significant advantages over them.
Major features include:
A straightforward encoding method
Advanced compression - a high rate-distortion efficiency which can result in significant bitrate savings over MPEG-2
The illustration below shows the dramatic savings in bitrate and file size that H.264 can achieve while providing comparable quality to other formats.
Network friendliness - a network abstraction layer designed for highly efficient transmission of header data
Profiles for a wide variety of applications ranging from video telephony to high-end broadcasting and storage
In summary, H.264 is a powerful, efficient, robust format that is ideal for the video applications of the future. MainConcept's H.264 solution is entirely our own codebase, optimized throughout for the best possible quality.
Our H.264 Encoder Preview Version also includes our H.264 Decoder, enabling you to play H.264 files in Windows Media Player and other compatible programs.
NOTE: This demo version places a watermark on encoded material.
Operating systems: Windows 2000, Me, XP (DirectX 9 required)
Current version: Preview
Price: Preview Version is a free demo; price of release version to be announced
