What is a H265 file?
H.265, also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), is a video compression standard that offers significantly better compression than its predecessor, H.264. It allows for high-quality video at reduced bitrates, making it ideal for 4K and 8K content delivery.
H.265 is widely used in streaming services, digital broadcasting, and modern cameras. Although it requires more processing power for decoding, it provides excellent visual quality and smaller file sizes.
