4 with the frame size 1920 1080 the current picture being decoded is not included in the computation of dpb fullness unless the encoder has indicated for it to be stored for use as a reference for decoding other pictures or for delayed output timing thus a decoder needs to actually have sufficient memory to handle at least one frame more than the maximum capacity of the dpb as calculated above implementations edit a youtube stat that shows h 264 avc and opus h 264 high quality up to 1080p 60fps for youtube uploaded to render in 2009 the html5 working group was split between supporters of ogg theora a free video format which is thought to be unencumbered by patents and h 264 which contains patented technology as late as july 2009 google and apple were said to support h 264 while mozilla and opera support ogg theora eventually google mozilla and opera all supported theora and webm with vp8 32 although theora support was removed in 2023 2024 33 34 microsoft with the release of internet explorer 9 has added support for html 5 video encoded using h 264 at the gartner symposium itxpo in november 2010 microsoft ceo steve ballmer answered the question html 5 or silverlight by saying if you want to do something that is universal there is no question the world is going html5 35 in january 2011 google announced that they were pulling support for h 264 from their chrome browser and supporting both theora and webm vp8 to use only open formats 36 on march 18 2012 mozilla announced support for h 264 in firefox on mobile devices due to prevalence of h 264 encoded video and the increased power efficiency of using dedicated h 264 decoder hardware common on such devices 37 on february 20 2013 mozilla implemented support in firefox for decoding h 264 on windows 7 and above this feature relies on windows built in decoding libraries 38 firefox 35 0 released on january 13 2015 supports h 264 on os x 10 6 and higher 39 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 for any software projects that use cisco s precompiled binaries thus making cisco s openh264 binaries free to use however any software projects that use cisco s source code instead of its binaries would be legally responsible for paying all royalties to mpeg la target cpu architectures include x86 and arm and target operating systems include linux windows xp and later mac os x and android ios was notably absent from this list because it does not allow applications to fetch and install binary modules from the internet 40 41 42 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 43 cisco published the source code to openh264 on december 9 2013 44 although ios was not supported by the 2013 cisco software release apple updated its video toolbox framework with ios 8 released in september 2014 to provide direct access to hardware based h 264

computational power for specific arithmetic operations software implementations running on general purpose cpus are typically less power efficient however consumer grade cpus with 6 or 8 cores since around 2016 and quad core general purpose x86 cpus as of january 2020 have sufficient computational power to perform real time sd and hd encoding citation needed compression efficiency depends on video algorithmic implementations not on whether hardware or software implementation is used therefore the difference between hardware and software based implementations is more on power efficiency flexibility and cost to improve power efficiency and reduce size special purpose hardware may be employed either for the complete encoding or decoding process or for acceleration assistance within a cpu controlled environment cpu based solutions are known to be much more flexible particularly when encoding must be done concurrently in multiple formats multiple bit rates and resolutions multi screen video and possibly with additional features such as container format support advanced integrated advertising features etc cpu based software solutions generally make it much easier to load balance multiple concurrent encoding sessions within the same cpu the 2nd generation intel sandy bridge core i3 i5 i7 processors introduced at the january 2011 ces consumer electronics show offer an on chip hardware full hd h 264 encoder known as intel quick sync video 50 51 a hardware h 264 encoder can be an asic or an fpga asic encoders with h 264 encoder functionality are available from many different semiconductor companies but the core design used in the asic is typically licensed from one of a few companies such as chips media allegro dvt on2 formerly hantro acquired by google imagination technologies ngcodec some companies have both fpga and asic product offerings 52 texas instruments manufactures a line of arm dsp cores that perform dsp h 264 bp encoding 1080p at 30 fps 53 this permits flexibility with respect to codecs which are implemented as highly optimized dsp code while being more efficient than software on a generic cpu licensing edit see also microsoft corp v motorola inc and qualcomm inc v broadcom corp in countries where patents on software algorithms are upheld vendors and commercial users of products that use h 264 avc are expected to pay patent licensing royalties for the patented technology that their products use 54 this applies to the baseline profile as well 55 a private organization known as via la administers the licenses for patents applying to this standard as well as other patent pools such as for mpeg 4 part 2 video hevc and mpeg dash the patent holders include fujitsu panasonic sony mitsubishi apple columbia university kaist dolby google jvc kenwood lg electronics microsoft ntt docomo philips samsung sharp toshiba and zte 56 although the majority of patents in the pool are held by panasonic 1 197 patents godo kaisha ip bridge 1 130 patents and lg electronics 990 patents 57 on august 26 2010 mpeg la announced that royalties would not be charged for h 264 encoded internet video that is free to end users 58 all other royalties remain in place such as royalties for products that decode and encode h 264 video as well as to operators of free television and subscription channels 59 the license terms are updated in 5 year blocks 60 since the first version of the standard was completed in may 2003 23 years ago and the most commonly used profile the high profile was completed in june 2004 citation needed 22 years ago some of the relevant patents are expired by now 57 while others are still in force in jurisdictions around the world and one of the us patents in the mpeg la h 264 pool granted in 2016 lasts at least until november 2030 61 in 2005 qualcomm sued broadcom in us district court alleging that broadcom infringed on two of its patents by making products that were compliant with the h 264 video compression standard 62 in 2007 the district court found that the patents were unenforceable because qualcomm had failed to disclose them to the jvt prior to the release of the h 264 standard in may 2003 62 in december 2008 the us court of appeals for the federal circuit affirmed the district court s order that the patents be unenforceable but remanded to the district court with instructions to limit the scope of unenforceability to h 264 compliant products 62 in october 2023 nokia sued hp and amazon for h 264 h 265 patent infringement in usa uk and other locations 63 in february 2026 the
