H264 to AU

H264 is a licensed video compression standard that is necessary in order to obtain a high degree of video stream compression while maintaining good quality. The H264 format has been widely used to record, process and store data from an external surveillance camera. That is, a file with an extension of H264 is essentially a video. The file was developed by Video Coding Experts Group. The specificity of the H264 format is that video data is compressed to a minimum size. Moreover, the resolution settings for video and audio quality are at a high level. The format is innovative. He found widespread use on vehicle video recorders and outdoor surveillance cameras. H.264 is a video compression codec that requests the video container needed to store encoded videos. This is a proprietary video codec that uses highly efficient compression algorithms and delivers great video quality. The main advantage of the H264 format is its high compression ratio when it is necessary to maintain the proper quality of video and audio data. When working with video recorders such as a camera and a DVR, which can be long and even continuous, this is very important if it is not possible to clean the physical memory. For users, the H264 video format is very popular. And therefore, there is practically no problem with playing back an H264 file. It can be opened online. For this, standard Windows tools are used. Say Media Player. Specialized programs are also used.

AU is an audio file format created in Audacity. This is a free cross-platform program designed to edit audio files. AU format (Audio Units) was developed by Sun Microsystems. This format greatly simplifies the task of reliable storage of audio files. An AU file consists of 3 parts: a header (max. 24 bytes), a description block of various sizes, and audio data. The file format is used on computers running the Sun or Unix operating system. However, it opens with other audio players. The AU format uses the logarithmic encoding method, previously very popular on computers running the Sun SPARCstation operating system. Previous sound file formats, in order to reduce the size, used the logarithmic scale of recording samples. Among the representatives of such formats, the Sun AU group of formats, which are still in action, gained great fame. Problems with opening the AU file usually manifest themselves when there are no corresponding applications that would be installed on the PC. Applications that use .AU files are Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, Real Player, Winamp, and other widely used audio players. And this is the vast majority of professional audio editors.
