@noiob you can't tell me there have been over 250 video compression standards since the late 80s or early 90s or whenever video compression started to be A Thing, though

@Felthry no, the naming scheme also covers other coding standards like audio or telecommunications, but all h.26x standards are by the Video Coding Experts Group, also known as question 6 of working party 3 of ITU-T study group 16. I think they just like numbering things
@Felthry the first digital video compression standard was actually h.120
@Felthry it's an improvement on h.263
