JVT (Joint Video Team) was established by ISO and ITU-T to standardize next generation video coding technology in the last December. The standardization has been started based on the "H.26L", which was standardized in ITU-T S616. The output of JVT will be H.264 in ITU-T and MPEG-4 part 10 (Advanced Video Coding) in ISO. In this document, the overview of H.264 and the recent standardization activity are reported.
