This document compares two video compression techniques: Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) algorithm and H.264 codec. It finds that H.264 provides higher compression ratios of 60-70% compared to EZW, which achieves lower compression. Frames compressed with H.264 show better visual quality than those compressed with EZW. The document concludes that while EZW achieves good compression performance, H.264 is currently the better technique for video compression applications.
