H.264 video encoding and decoding library for real-time applications such as WebRTC.

OpenH264 is a video codec library for encoding and decoding H.264 streams, including use in real-time communication applications such as WebRTC. Its encoder supports rate control, temporal scalability, multiple output resolutions, and dynamic changes to bitrate, frame rate, and resolution. The repository also provides command-line encoding and decoding programs.
