The most popular h.264 Video Encoder
x264 powers many popular internet video services, such as YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo. It is widely used by television broadcasters and ISPs.
Features
Low Latency
Streaming capabilities: zero-latency mode (no internal buffering), capped frame-size encoding, slice-at-a-time output, and many other critical features for a low-latency environment.
Error Resilience
Periodic Intra Refresh and interactive error resilience offer two effective ways to deal quickly with packet loss.
High Bit-Depth
x264 supports 9 and 10-bit encoding for improved compression and professional applications.
Lossless Compression
Supports h.264's Predictive Lossless compression mode.
Optimized for ARM
NEON optimizations for CPUs such as the Cortex A8, Snapdragon, and Apple A4 to A9.
Blu-Ray Authoring
Encode Blu-ray compliant video suitable for authoring.
