H.264 is a standard for video compression. It is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, or MPEG-4 AVC (for Advanced Video Coding).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264

There are various codecs made by different companies/programmers etc, so which one is better would be a matter of debate. Here is a comprehensive test: Second Annual MSU MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Video Codec Comparison
