Convert H264 to BIK

Understanding H264 and BIK file formats

The H264 file format is a popular video compression standard used for recording, compressing, and distributing video content. It is widely used in various applications, including streaming, video conferencing, and broadcasting, due to its high compression efficiency and excellent video quality.
