What is a 264 file?
264 files are temporary video files created from ripped and converted videos from programs such as Stax Rip and Rip Bot 264. These video files can be repurposed and encoded to other video formats for viewing. 264 files are mainly used to store raw intermediary data before they are extracted. The raw data is typically stored with the H.264 encoding of video files. The compression of the data makes the file provide high-quality videos at relatively low bitrates. The H.264 codec is widely used in HDTV, AVCHD cam coders, Blu-ray, and HD DVD.
Since 264 file has raw data, you may find it challenging to play the video in your media player. The file acts as a container that the media player recognizes, making it difficult for the player to play the videos. To play the raw video files, you need to have a proper program and correct file associations to open the file.
