H.264

Detailed explanation-1: -H. 264 is hands down the best codec for web streaming because it is highly efficient and compatible with most other forms of video technology you need to use for web streaming. While there are more efficient codecs on the market, none of them are quite as compatible as H. 264.
Detailed explanation-2: -265 is newer and more advanced than H. 264 in several ways. H. 265 (also called HEVC, or High Efficiency Video Coding) allows for further reduced file size, and therefore reduced required bandwidth, of your live video streams.
Detailed explanation-3: -Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also referred to as H. 264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, is a video compression standard based on block-oriented, motion-compensated coding.
Detailed explanation-4: -Compared to other compression formats such as MPEG-2, H. 264 has a much better video quality at the same compressed bitrate, uses less bandwidth, and is adequate for online platforms. Another crucial difference is the high compression rate, which makes video files considerably smaller.
