High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, is a new video compression standard, a successor to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding). The idea of HEVC is to offer the same level of picture quality as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (one of the best compression schemes used by Blu-ray), but with better compression, so there’s less data to deal with.
The HEVC (H.265) doubles the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC at the same level of video quality. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It can support 4K/8K Ultra HD and resolutions up to 8192×4320.
