Is there any advantages or disadvantages to using apple's H264 for compressing video?

H264 codecs give excellent quality at low file sizes. however, it currently takes a very very powerful PC to run at higher resolutions (~720p) and modern computers at dvd resolutions. newer graphics cards will have hardware acceleration support for H264 though, but the technology is not available just yet. my own experience is excellent picture quality but encoding and playback especially is slow. its great for dvd encoding, and virtually unusable for HDTV encoding.
i've never used apple's h264, but 'x264', a freeware open-source codec. its much better IMO (though they are both similar in many aspects, as well as nero's). see here http://www.doom9.org/gknot-main6.htmLast edited by anonymez; 9 Nov 2005, 01:51 PM."What were the things in Gremlins called?" - Karl Pilkington
