The rise of streaming services and social media has led to an explosion in video content creation. However, this has also resulted in a significant increase in storage requirements. To address this challenge, researchers and developers have been exploring new video compression technologies. One such innovation is the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, also known as H.265. In this post, we'll discuss the recent advancements in HEVC and the emergence of 100MB movies encoded in this format.
Ultra-Compact 100MB Movies in HEVC: The Future of Video Storage?
HEVC is a video compression standard designed to succeed the widely used H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) format. HEVC offers significantly better compression efficiency, reducing the file size of videos by up to 50% compared to H.264 at the same quality level. This makes it an attractive solution for storing and streaming high-quality video content.
Recently, several movies have been encoded in HEVC, resulting in remarkably small file sizes of around 100MB. These ultra-compact movies demonstrate the impressive compression capabilities of HEVC. For instance, a 90-minute movie can now be stored in a file size that's equivalent to a few high-resolution images.
