If you're into video technology info these days, HEVC will be familiar to you. Yes, High-Efficiency Video Coding which is said to be the future replacement of H.264. This latest codec is said to be able to compress the video, even more so that it has better quality than H.264, and it also happens to have a capability to support 4K HD videos which means it will be much more usable in a few more years once it's finished.
In a few months, I have learned that I'm able to render my videos into a new format thanks to several converters, so I decided to test it out with encoding one of the episodes of a certain show to test its quality and compression. Finetuning the video is the hardest part for me because I need to check which bitrate is suitable without losing much of the quality, but today I managed to find some ideal bitrate. Oh, I almost forgot, HEVC has longer process than MPEG4, encoding 20 mins video can last for more than 2 hours (at least on my laptop).
From my tests, I'm sure an HD video with HEVC in it has about 110% the size of the SD MPEG4 ones, but the first stored much more that it's worth it at the end, because an HD MPEG4 video has around approx. 150% or more of its SD size. Playing it on my current laptop (which is back albeit starting fresh) is a breeze, even though on Redmi 1S, the playback has some struggles at some point. Even though it has occasional pauses, my phone is capable of playing it nonetheless.
So, once HEVC is completed, I have a feeling that it will be a new standard in years to come, to the point that one of the digital satellite channel provider is testing its capabilities at the time I'm writing this blog entry right now (and I doubt if I'm able to watch it for now because my receiver can't get HEVC yet). So, I want to ask you guys, are you ready for the future of the video?
