Videolan in Audio & Multimedia / Audio Encoders/Decoders
x264 is a free software library and application for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression format, and is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Features Overview:
Provides best-in-class performance, compression, and features.
Achieves dramatic performance, encoding 4 or more 1080p streams in realtime on a single consumer-level computer.
Gives the best quality, having the most advanced psychovisual optimizations.
Support features necessary for many different applications, such as television broadcast, Blu-ray low-latency video applications, and web video.
