Free and open-source software portal; libavcodec is a free and open-source [4] library of codecs for encoding and decoding video and audio data. [5]libavcodec is an integral part of many open-source multimedia applications and frameworks.
On2 Technologies provides multi-format hardware encoder IP cores that will support up to 1080p resolution full motion H.264/AVC video; Kulabyte provides live video encoding and streaming turn-key hardware that supports up to 1080p resolution full motion H.264/AVC video using MainConcept "High" profile. "Kulabyte Software and Hardware Encoders".
Turing – A High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) encoder implemented by BBC Research. libaom – Reference implementation for the royalty free AV1 video coding format by AOMedia, inheriting technologies from VP9, Daala and Thor. Kvazaar – An academic open-source encoder based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) standard.
In a subjective quality comparison conducted in 2014 featuring the reference encoders for HEVC (HM 15.0), MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (JM 18.6), and VP9 (libvpx 1.2.0 with preliminary VP9 support), VP9, like H.264, required about two times the bitrate to reach video quality comparable to HEVC, while with synthetic imagery VP9 was close to HEVC.

Some containers only support a restricted set of video formats: DMF only supports MPEG-4 Visual ASP with DivX profiles. EVO only supports MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video and VC-1. F4V only supports MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-4 Visual and H.263. FLV only supports MPEG-4 Visual, VP6, Sorenson Spark and Screen Video. MPEG-4 AVC in FLV is possible ...
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.
In April 2010, the x264 project announced full Blu-ray compliant video encoding capability making x264 the first free Blu-ray compliant software H.264 encoder. [17] x264 has always had the ability to create video streams that are playable on most Blu-ray devices. However, it was up to the user to choose appropriate conversion settings.
AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It was developed as a successor to VP9 by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), [2] a consortium founded in 2015 that includes semiconductor firms, video on demand providers, video content producers, software development companies and web browser vendors.
