What the true meaning of H.265/HEVC codec?
H.265 (also known as HEVC, short for High Efficiency Video Coding) is a video compression standard whose predecessor is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. H.265 HEVC ensures to deliver video quality identical to H.264 AVC at only half the bit rate. The idea of HEVC is to offer the same level of picture quality as AVC, but with better compression, so there’s less data to deal with. This is key if we want 4K/Ultra HD broadcasts (including satellite), 4K Blu-rays, and more.

Simply put, H.265 is the codec of the future. So, do you want to convert videos files to H.265? In this way, you can downsize HD videos without damaging the quality to free up space, and also convert SD videos to H.265 for better visual effects. So, how to convert videos to H.265? All you need is a H.265 converter which can convert video files to H.265.
Pavtube Video Converter (4.8.2.0), which has been upgraded to the newest version to handle this H.265/HEVC codec files well. Not ony for edcoding H.265 to various NELs and media players, but also can decoding much more different codcs to H.265/HEVC for smaller size and higher quality. Is that cool?
When you load the H.265 videos in this program, then you can come to the step of choosing suitable files as requirements there. For example. to get the MP4 files? In the ‘Common Video’ button, there are three H.264 MP4 standards added there called ‘H.264 Baseline/Main/High Profile Video’ (*.mp4)’ as the best. Just look the following screen shot here.
