On October 30, 2013, Rowan Trollope from Cisco Systems announced that Cisco would release both binaries and source code of an H.264 video codec called OpenH264 under the Simplified BSD license, and pay all royalties for its use to MPEG LA themselves for any software projects that use Cisco's precompiled binaries (thus making Cisco's OpenH264 binaries free to use); any software projects that ...
[58] [59] [60] Also on October 30, 2013, Brendan Eich from Mozilla wrote that it would use Cisco's binaries in future versions of Firefox to add support for H.264 to Firefox where platform codecs are not available. [61] Cisco published the source code to OpenH264 on December 9, 2013. [62]
OpenH264 – H.264 baseline profile encoding and decoding; OpenVVC [1] an VVC /H.266 Real Time-Decoder for Mac OS, Windows, Linux and Android and special Version of FFmpeg, [2] which was used for Ateme Satellite Broadcast Test. [3] [4] x265 – An encoder based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) standard. Xvid – MPEG-4 Part 2 ...
OpenH264 is an open-source H.264 encoder and decoder implementation by Cisco, made available in December 2013. Prominent hardware implementations
At the end of 2013, Mozilla announced a deal with Cisco, whereby Firefox would download and use a Cisco-provided binary build of an open-source [17] codec to play the proprietary H.264 video format. [18] [19] As part of the deal, Cisco would pay any patent licensing fees associated with the binaries that it distributed.
Also on 30 October 2013, Mozilla's Brendan Eich announced that Firefox would automatically download Cisco's H.264 module when needed by default. He also noted that the binary module is not a perfect solution, since users do not have full free software rights to "modify, recompile, and redistribute without license agreements or fees".
OpenH264 (baseline profile only) x264 (encoder only; supports some of Hi422P and Hi444PP features) FFmpeg (decoder only) MPEG-4 AVC variants: MPEG-4 Web Video Coding or MPEG-4 Part 29 – a subset of MPEG-4 AVC baseline profile; XAVC; HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, H.265, MPEG-H part 2) x265 (encoder only) Versatile Video Coding (H.266, VVC)
The quality the codec can achieve is heavily based on the compression format the codec uses. A codec is not a format, and there may be multiple codecs that implement the same compression specification – for example, MPEG-1 codecs typically do not achieve quality/size ratio comparable to codecs that implement the more modern H.264 specification.
