The H.264 codec, short for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, is a standard video compression and has become the most popular format in the digital video industry. The H.264 file format contains a number of features that enable it to compress video much more effectively than previous standards, and provides more flexibility for applications across a wide variety of network environments from low bit-rate Internet streaming to HDTV broadcast and Digital Cinema applications with nearly lossless coding.
We attempt to convert your video with little to no loss in fidelity.
Your video will be converted at the resolution and quality in which it was uploaded. You can embed or link the video into various documents and email messages at whatever size is appropriate for the document. Users will always have the ability to play the video in full screen mode, to take advantage of high resolution or high-definition video.
Most major video formats are supported. Proprietary codecs are generally not supported. A good rule of thumb is that if you need special software to play a video, then it's likely the video will not covert correctly. See the table below for unsupported codecs.
