H264 vs H265 | Explained

I only listen and watch everything uncompressed. As I have the best computer, screen, internet, hearing, eyes and penis in universe

Let me do you a favor, the difference between h264 and h265, is that h265 can store more data in the same bit rate more efficiently. just use h.265. I just saved you 9 minutes.

Hello. I filmed my first scuba diving with a gopro, and the microsd was full, and all the video-photos are corrupted, I can't see them. I tried with vlc and other players but nothing. Do you know how to make me see them. Thank you

If .mp4 and .mov both use the same h264 codec then why should .mov have better quality? In the end it just depends on the bitrate, the container doesnt matter much.

Sir, does facebook allow videos under H265 format in 2023? Thank you in advance

Why does it sound like mike has European codec? 🤔

Ay thanks for the help! that helped me understand the difference

Fun side note, broadcast television, over the air and cable boxes, still uses mpeg2 which first came out in 1995!

That was so easy to follow and so clear to understand, great video. So can i ask you or a fellow reader, if i record on an insta 360 at 5.7k then put it in davinci what should i export it as, 264 or 265 and at what bitrate

hope that makes sense

Imagine using H.264 in 2023

Informative thanks ❤❤

I definitely notice a difference in quality especially in shadowed areas. I don't like h265 compression very much for only like 20% savings on file size.

This guy is fit!

Thank you so much! It was entertaining and informative. You explained it wonderfully for those of us who are not so technically inclined.

Thanx for the video. Small correction. In the opening you wrote H264&H256

Im rendering a 60min, 4k video in 265 codec.

And it takes 30 hours.
Would it be faster if I use 264 instead?

my specs
i5 12600k
gtx3060 12gb vram

No idea what to talk here about, but if I'm correct h.265 requires 2x less bandwidth for the same quality as h.264, but for 5x more encoding resources. The same is for h.266 vs h.265. So h.265 is quite good video codec, but only in case your hardware supports it, and h.266 is even better in the same case.
