H.265, also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), is a video compression standard that encodes video at roughly half the bitrate of its predecessor H.264 while maintaining similar or better visual quality. It is widely used in broadcast, streaming, and live-event production for reducing file sizes and bandwidth requirements, though adoption varies depending on playback device compatibility and encoding hardware availability.
