AboutH.264
H.264,alsoknownasMPEG-4Part10/AVC,isavideocompressionstandardthatprovideshighqualityvideostreamsatlowbitrates. AnH.264videostreamconsistsofdifferenttypesofframessuchasI-framesandP-frames.AnI-frameisacompleteimage,whereas P-framesonlycontainthedifferencesfrompreviousframes.
AboutGOPlength
