What is H.264? And Why convert DVD to H.264?
H.264 is a high performance video codec technology. The greatest advantages of H.264 is it has a very high data compression ratio, under the same image quality, the H.264s data compression ratio is double the MPEG-2s, 1.5 to 2.0 times the MPEG-4s. For example, if the original video file's size is 88GB, the size will be 3.5GB using MPEG-2 to compress it. The compression ratio is 25 : 1. But if you use the H.264 compression standard to compress the video file, the result is 879MB. H.264's compression ratio reaches whopping 102 : 1. Notably, besides a high compression ratio, H.264 also has a high-quality smooth image.
Because of these benefits, many movie (DVD) buff, who want to redistribute their DVD collection to hard drive or other multimedia devices, choose to compress DVDs to the H.264 file extension like MP4, AVI, MKV etc.
