Here are some major ones not listed -

G.722.1 Audio CODEC. 7 KHz sample at 24 and 32 K bit/s (hifi voice)

H.239 - ITU standard for multiple video streams in a conference - to replace Tandberg's DuoVideo and Polycom's People+Content as a means of sending two video streams in a conference.

H.264 - Latest video encoding - based on MPEG-4

H.281 - Far End End Camera Control

T.140 - Text chat with multimedia

H.233 - Confidentiality systems for audiovisual service - H.320.

H.234 - Encryption key management and authentication system for audiovisual services - H.320.

H.235 - Security and encryption for H.323.

BONDING - Bandwidth ON Demand INteropablitity Group - framing for ISDN for 56 kbps to 2 Mbps - similar to H.221. Not an ITU standard, but used by all major manufacturers as de facto standard.

I noticed H350 absent from the list..

H350- Directory Services for multimedia
Uses LDAP to store video, voice and collaborative multimedia information.

[Glen Sykes]

H.324M - Actually defined as Annex C of H.324, however H.324M includes mechanisms for increased reliability for operation over error-prone networks.

MPEG-4 AAC-LD - ITU Ratified High Quality (20Khz sample rate) Audio Algorithm.

Here is a .pdf from tanberg that sums up standards pretty well.

Dear All,

We missed out H.241 which would specify and include the new H.264 and H.239 without which an endpoint or an MCU would not be able to commuicate on the above protocols.

It is really??

Yes! Nice information that you have shared with us.

Thank you very much!
