H.263 P3 Encoder


Tatvik’s H.263 Video Encoder implementation is one of the fastest implementations of H.263 Encoder for Mobile and PC Platforms. The implementation is highly efficient in terms of speed and memory footprint. Tatvik has developed the encoder for low-power and high efficiency mobile applications. Tatvik H.263 encoder uses three different speed modes which give best quality for each mode according to the available processing power.
