| Description | The H.264/264 video format was developed to provide good quality video at a lower bitrate level. The format has a large range of applications that attempt to cover video solutions from Internet streaming applications through to HDTV broadcasting with near lossless coding. |

| Technical Details | H.264/264 contains a number of features that allow it to compress video more effectively than previously. The main advantage of H.264 is the compression rate which is about twice as effective as MPEG-4. The image quality is a lot better and as such playback is more fluent, added to this the lower bit rate for network transmission means that it is widely adopted. |

| File extension | .gif |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | The GIF file format is a type of bitmap image and has become popular due to the growth of the internet. This file format supports up to 8 bits per pixel therefore giving an image the ability to contain 256 distinct colours chosen from the 24-bit RGB colour space. It also supports animations and whenever you see a logo or other sharp edged line art then you are probably dealing with the GIF format. It uses the lossless data compression technique which reduces the file size without any impact on the quality. |

| Technical Details | The GIF file format was invented by Compuserve for their online service, but they made the specifications publicly available. GIFs are able to hold multiple bitmaps of up to 256 colors each, using LZW (Lempel Zev Welch - a simple form of file compression that removes inefficiencies in the data storage without losing data or distorting the image) compressed raster data to minimize file sizes. The idea is to lessen the amount of colours in a GIF image to the minimum number necessary and to therefore remove stray colors that are not required to represent the image. A GIF graphic is unable to have more than 256 colors but it can have fewer colors, down to the minimum of two (black and white). Images with fewer colors will compress more efficiently under LZW compression. |
