	'''Progressive (or noninterlaced scanning):''' is a method for displaying, storing or transmitting moving images in which all the lines of each frame are drawn in sequence. This is in contrast to the interlacing used in traditional television systems where only the odd lines, then the even lines of each frame (each image now called a field) are drawn alternatively.

	'''h.264 encode:''' is an ITU standard for compressing video based on MPEG-4 that is expected to be widely used, especially for high-definition video. Formerly known as "H.26L" by the ITU, it is also known as "MPEG-4 Part 10" by the ISO MPEG group, which jointly developed the codec. Taking advantage of today's high-speed chips, H.264 delivers MPEG-2 quality at a data rate up to three times smaller. It also provides a frame size four times that of MPEG-4 at the same data rate.

			'''Hi10P:''' Newer 10-bit encoding method for h264. In really basic terms, more data used to define color which for some reason means we can get less banding (if you don’t know what that is, just know that it’s bad) for a smaller file size. The video looks better and it even cost less bandwidth.
