Nevertheless, according to Twitch’s recent analysis, H.264 has reached its compression performance limit, particularly for real-time encoding of gaming content at the HD resolution (1080p60). Since 2003 (i.e., 15 years ago), H.264 has been the state-of-the-art video compression format and has enabled HDTV, Blu-ray Disc, Internet video websites (e.g., YouTube, Twitch), and so on. Video compression is the key to successful delivery of digital video across various applications like broadcast, teleconference, surveillance, and online streaming services.
