H.265
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is a video compression standard designed to significantly reduce the file size of video content while maintaining high visual quality. It achieves roughly double the compression efficiency of its predecessor H.264, enabling higher resolution video (like 4K and 8K) to be streamed or stored with less bandwidth and storage requirements. This standard is widely used in applications ranging from streaming services and broadcasting to video surveillance and mobile video.
Developers should learn and use H.265 when working on projects involving high-resolution video processing, such as video streaming platforms, video editing software, or multimedia applications, to optimize bandwidth usage and storage costs. It is particularly valuable in scenarios where network constraints or storage limitations are critical, such as in mobile apps, IoT devices, or cloud-based video services, as it allows for delivering high-quality video with reduced data transmission.
