Description |
| Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec version 1 |
The Microsoft MPEG-4 codec is a low to high bit-rate video codec. The advantage of this codec is that it meets the standards set by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). Use version 1 if you provide content to version 2.0 servers or players. |
| Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec version 2 |
The Microsoft MPEG-4 codec is a low to high bit-rate video codec. Version 2 of the codec is provided for compatibility with content and encoder configurations created with version 3.0 of Windows Media Tools. |
| Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec version 3 |
The Microsoft MPEG-4 codec is a highly scalable video codec that supports a wide range of network bandwidths. The latest version of the Microsoft MPEG-4 video codec has been optimized for the Intel Pentium III processors. Using this codec provides faster on-demand encoding and higher data rates, resolution, and frame rates for live encoding. If you are using an Intel Pentium II processor you will still experience much faster video encoding performance. Version 3 of the codec also supports multiple bandwidth and high bandwidth encoding. Additionally, it includes the video de-blocking filter which improves the video quality of your content by removing the blockiness caused by video compression - especially at low data rates like 28.8Kbps. |
| VDOnet VDOWave |
VDOWave is a low to mid bit rate video codec. |
| Microsoft H.263 |
H.263 is good for providing low to mid bit-rate video. This codec is optimized for video conferencing, so it is a good choice for presentations and other low-motion video content. |
| TrueMotion RT 2.0 by Duck |
Duck is a high bit-rate video codec. Use this codec for .asf files or ASF streams that can be played either over an intranet (a network operating at more than 1 megabit per second [Mbps]) or locally. |
