Before starting, read the "Is VP9 better than H264?" guide to learn more about these video codecs and their performance.

If you're looking to decode videos, you have several options to choose from. You can install applications like FFDShow, DivX H.264 Decoder, or LAV Filters on your computer.

Alternatively, you can use media players like VLC, PotPlayer or KMPlayer, which support H.264 internally, eliminating the need for additional codecs or filters.

Please note that VFW and installer options have been removed, so there is no GUI, just Command-Line (CLI) versions. Instead, you can try using x264Gui, x264 VfW, TX264, Leiming's x264 GUI (development discontinued), EncodeGUI, or the populars MeGUI and StaxRip for your encoding needs.
