H.264 is a popular video compression standard to compress a digital video. It is also known as MPEG-4 Part10 or Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC). H.264 uses the block-wise approach for compressing a video where the block size is defined as 16 x 16 and such block is called a macro block. H.264 supports two types of encoding: Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) and Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC). It implements baseline profile and uses CAVLC for entropy encoding. Also, the IP supports encoding of I and P frames upto 4K resolution.
