HEVC(H.265)—What differs from H.264?
H.265 reduces file size by roughly 39-44% at the same quality compared to H.264. This means a relief on bandwith restraints that plague viewers of HD streaming video. One of the most fascinating aspects of H.265 is the improved efficiency in encoding pixel data. Instead of encoding a grid, it groups larger tile like pixels, increasing parallel processing and decode sections individually, simplifying resynchronization. This works because the codec is able to lump similar pixels into a single data chunk, removing the linear processes of scanning each individual pixel.
