Bye H.264, welcome H.265!
The codec that replaces the popular H.264, H.265, is now official. The new compression method approved by the ITU will significantly reduce the load on the World Wide Web, as it will be satisfied with roughly half the bandwidth of its predecessor. Roughly 80 percent of the videos currently available on the net use H.264 compression. The new procedure may not only affect traditional Internet use, but may also bring major changes in the use of mobile and multimedia devices, HD TVs.
