H.264 is a next-generation video encoding/decoding standard and is adopted for mobile terrestrial digital video one-segment broadcasting and next-generation DVD devices. H.264 is also one of the most likely standards for encoding/decoding for next-generation IP videophones.

Windows Media is the most widely used PC format for encoding and decoding multimedia. The VC-1 standard, which is being reviewed for mobile terrestrial digital video broadcasting by the North American region, is the international videoencoding/decoding standard based on Windows Media Video 9.
