H.265
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is a video compression standard developed to succeed H.264/AVC. It provides significantly better data compression at the same level of video quality, enabling higher resolution video streaming and storage with reduced bandwidth and storage requirements. This standard is widely used in applications such as 4K/8K video, broadcasting, and video conferencing.
Developers should learn H.265 when working on video processing, streaming services, or multimedia applications that require efficient handling of high-resolution content, as it reduces bandwidth usage by up to 50% compared to H.264. It is essential for projects involving 4K/8K video delivery, video surveillance systems, and mobile video streaming where data efficiency is critical.
