HEVC file format

DescriptionHEVC is a modern and improved codec, also known as h.265. This format has the lowest bit rate while maintaining the quality of the image. There are three main features that set this codec apart from others: larger maximum block size, random access to images within the video stream, and parallel decoding. Similar to AVC or h.265, HEVC provides the same level of video quality, but with better compression quality. When compressing a video file with this codec, the size is reduced by half.
Technical detailsH.264 algorithm breaks an image down into pixel squares or macroblocks. Meanwhile, HEVC algorithm breaks images down into Coding Tree Units (CTUs), with a maximum size of 64x64 pixels. In the case of h.264, each macroblock can only be predicted as either intraframe or interframe. During interframe compression, pixels are borrowed from adjacent frames, while intraframe compression borrows pixels within the same frame. HEVC utilizes a combination of interframe and intraframe compression processes within CTUs. Various methods are used to preserve details in complex images.Important note: Translate the text as if it was written by a native English speaker, taking into consideration all linguistic and stylistic features in the final text.
