About this tag
H.264 is a widely used video compression standard that appears in discussions about Windows-based media playback, streaming, and browser compatibility. On WindowsForum.com, topics cover H.264 support in Microsoft Edge via WebRTC 1.0 for real-time communications, video corruption issues in Windows 7 Media Center when playing H.264 DVB-T content, and Microsoft's release of H.264 plugins for Firefox on Windows 7 to enable HTML5 video playback.
