MPEG 4 Part 2/H.263 

Low-bitrate video encoding meets low-latency video decoding for surveillance, security, medical technology, and conferencing systems

Video stream encoding for MPEG-4/H.263 streams

The MainConcept® MPEG-4 Part 2/H.263 SDK Packages are software components for video stream encoding into MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-2) and H.263 (ITU-T Recommendation H.263) streams. This format is predominantly used in environments that need low bitrates, such as mobile streaming, video surveillance, medical imaging, and video conferencing. The encoder supports the Simple Profile (SP) as well as the Advanced Simple Profile (ASP). With it, you can create H.263 streams used by some mobile devices. The video decoder is a software-only playback solution for content generated by the MainConcept MPEG-4 Part 2 Encoder or 3rd party encoders.
