H265: Technical Overview
It'll be interesting to see the adoption rate of h265/HEVC  and whether it will actually take off since the licensing costs seem to be prohibitively expensive[1].<p>AV1 may wind up being the defacto winner because of this even if it means we have to wait longer before any transition occurs.  We may wind up sticking to h264 and VP9 longer despite hardware already shipping with h265/HEVC support.<p>[1] <a href="https://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/07/26/0149234/hevc-advance-announces-h265-royalty-rates-raises-some-hackles" rel="nofollow">https://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/07/26/0149234/hevc-advance...</a>
