What is a HEVC file?
HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265, is a modern video compression standard designed to deliver high-quality video at lower bitrates than its predecessor, H.264.
HEVC is widely used for 4K and 8K video streaming, Blu-ray discs, and modern smartphones. It offers excellent compression efficiency, though it may require newer hardware or software for playback.
